If those are the goals, then setting up, in essence, a fork without discussing with those working on GNOME currently strikes me as an awfully passive-agressive (and unlikely to succeed) way to accomplish those goals, and so I'd ask why it should be done that way.
Because the desktop community is not and never has been "welcoming" to community.
If you think they have been then I must say many of them have an odd way of showing it.
That hasn't been my experience at all, either in Fedora or upstream. I've approached GNOME contributors in both places numerous times with questions or concerns and they always get treated respectfully. I tend to approach assuming good intentions, and that seems to work well.
