Is there any chance anyone is going to get to comment on GPL v3 before it gets etched in stone and handed down from the mountain, like the GFDL was?

Yes.

The plan is to have most of 2006 for a globally moderated discussion in which everyone with an interest in the GPL will have the chance to make their point and give their opinion.

This will be a difficult process, as outlined by Richard Stallman and Eben Moglen in their GPL Version 3: Background to Adoption document, but the GPL is a very special document.

We will let you know once we know more about how exactly this will take place.
