GNU project is not a finalized project, rather evolving project. So
the GNU Maintainer policies: 
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html are there to be
modified and adopted, to provide for more ethical service to GNU
users.

You imply that what is there is there, and nothing can be changed? In
that case, let us close all projects, and mailing lists, and bug
reports. Or simply press a button and come out of that kind of
robotical thinking.

Misleading advertising, especially for iPhone and proprietary stuff,
Software as a Service Substitute, non-free javascript, on Sourceforge,
Github, and limitations imposed by Cloudflare, are against the GNU
maintainer policies and common sense relating to Free/Libre software.

Common sense is not robotical thinking, it is evolving, it is live,
and you may protest as much as you wish, it does not make such hosting
sites better for GNU freedom loving users..
