I'm not aware of a single clearing point for this information.
The policy of the Debian project for the Debian trademark is still up
for discussion within the project, though the discussion has lulled
again <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/ProposedTrademarkPolicy>.

The main place I've seen these discussed is in this mailing list.
Potentially useful threads:
Linux Weekly News gave a good summary of then-current issues with the
Mozilla trademark policy <URL:http://lwn.net/Articles/118268/>.
Later, Mozilla Corporation abruptly changed its tune when Mike Connor
effectively annulled any discussions with Debian up to that point
<URL:http://bugs.debian.org/354622>, which resulted in Debian 'etch'
releasing with Firefox as "Iceweasel".
Gervase Markham asks about Python Software Foundation trademark policy
<URL:http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/12/msg00146.html>.
I don't have any links to hand for discussions about Gnome's
trademark.
