Any organization you create to manage such a list will be captured by non-programmers with an agenda that is political and stops serving the original purpose. They will play favorites.

The original agenda is political.

They will take it into an expanded political agenda beyond the DMCA trigger.

Premature throwing of the white towel.
Original contributors are in charge of the distribution restriction.
The organization is purely operational and enforces distribution restrictions, per original authors’.
They can infiltrate the distribution org as much as they want, as long as the original author to org hand-off is legally constrained. The main puzzle is what is that legal mechanism, which may be nothing more than licensing.

Agreed, but we could clarify it. If you sue or take any legal action against an open source program, you forfeit the right to use any software that is open source, forever.
Which basically means you can no longer use a computer, which in pratice should be a strong enough deterent.
