Someone posted the email copied below to the freedom.devuan.org mailbox.
I hoping that someone on this list could pen an answer and post here for
me to reply or directly if you have access there. I really don't want
to say something that's not quite right especially since FSF is
tangentially involved. Thanks.

As far as I know you're all about freedom, and I hereby would like to
encourage you to apply to be added to the list of free distros on
gnu.org. Maybe the application process is too time consuming or you have
other reasons but I think by being on the list you would reach a larger
audience.

Kind regards,

Porto

Thanks for checking in on this. If you take a look at the 'See something
we missed?' section on the free distros page, you can get a bit of an
idea about the process for a distro to be added. But in short, they have
to apply. If you think they might qualify, encourage the maintainers of
Devuan to follow the instructions on
<https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html>. Thanks again for
checking in, and I hope this helps.
