You make sure that the list won't reach concensus that the word is
good enough for everybody.

Even if you fail in doing so, there still is a recourse for you.

When you see a (future) version of Git that allows you to configure
the name of the default/primary branch, but does not yet switch the
name of the default/primary branch from 'master' to 'main', you set
the configuration variable(s) to 'master' (or whatever word of your
choice) in ~/.gitconfig and move on.  You won't be affected by the
future switch from 'master' to 'main' by being prepared that way.
