I am really struggling to understand how those projects cannot be under .NET foundation control. If you ever worked on an Apache Foundation or Eclipse Foundation project, you know that you must use their tools for code hosting and processes for maintainer/lead election. That said, as a project lead of an Eclipse Foundation hosted project (not Eclipse IDE related), I never had the Foundation do something major to our project without properly disseminating the info about on a publicly readable mailing list in advance.

P.S. I read that .NET foundation board now meets every day. I think Apache/Eclipse Foundation boards meet every 1..3..12 months, at least judging by the rarity of emails summarizing their meeting minutes. If a board needs to meet every day, something must be really wrong.

Something is really wrong right now that's why they might be meeting every day.

Your experience with the Eclipse Foundation is very different from how the .NET Foundation has interacted. On top of that, communication has been very poor for a long time. I believe those two differences are at or near the root of all of these issues.
