I had posted an alternative suggestion, which presumably was lost in
the noise in gentoo-project:
https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-project/message/9ccbc0e981ad4213ac7ad6edd73ab6cd

Basically, two changes (which could be voted on together or
separately):

a. Change "gentoo-dev" to "gentoo-project".

b. Remove the third sentence from the preamble, which I believe to be
redundant. Namely: "It is generally very similar to it except that
certain parts have been clarified and augmented while other parts
deemed redundant have been removed."

With both changes applied, the preamble would read:

| This social contract is intended to clearly describe the overall
| development policies and standards of the Gentoo project development
| team. Parts of this document have been derived from the Debian
| Social Contract. Comments are welcome. Please send them to our
| gentoo-project@lists.gentoo.org mailing list.
