My prediction is that this is not going to happen. gentoo-project
is an entirely different case than gentoo-dev, and non-technical
discussions are explicitly on-topic here.

I would suggest that you put the "social contract" thread in your
personal killfile instead (or alternatively, the person(s) making the
noise).

If you really believe that, then IMHO you have misunderstood the
intentions behind whitelisting gentoo-dev. See the logs of the
relevant council meetings.
