Would it be useful for debian-legal to designate a point-man, as it
were, who could summarize discussions here and send the result to the
FSF? It would introduce quite a delay in any back-and-forth, but that
seems unavoidable, and it would certainly cut down on the amount of
text the FSF side would have to read while maintaining transparency.
