I finally took a look and this document looks good to me.  I guess a
next step would be to specifically elicit feedback from all GNU
stakeholders such as maintainers.

One nit, regarding the first line :)  For me the document is essentially
a contract with each other, rather than to any abstract third party.
Even in the absence of a "broader free software community" with whom we
could profess a contract (and what would they agree to in return?), we
would be doing these things.
