That's a useful initiative, but a clearly a topic where I would welcome
help from others. For example, we will have a former DPL soon that sounds
quite motivated by this topic, and will have a lot of free time soon... :)
So, if elected, I would monitor progress, and intervene if needed, but I
would be unlikely to be on the front line.
A great achievement would already be to agree with the FSF on a detailed
list of disagreements. Some easy bugs are likely to be fixed in the
process, but I'm not convinced that we should go much further, and
negociate/compromise /make concessions with the FSF.
