You are talking about convincing Linus to add a feature. The equivalent would be convincing the FSF to change the terms in v3. They do have a process for that, but there is no guarantee you will change their mind. I don't see the distinction at all.

One of the contentions is that the process is superficial.
Possibly the FSF could show the first circulated drafts, and diffs against it, to show prove that there substantial community input has affected the draft. This might dampen the squaks in the peanut gallery.
