I am sorry that you did not receive the memo.

If fragmentation of the community is something the SC worries about so
much, then why do you, as a member of this self-appointed Polit-buro
(with no virtually no changes in its composition in the last 10 years
-- wasn't egcs in part more about getting more people involved?)
dismiss a good member of this community with a rude answer like the
above?

egcs was about growing the developer community and moving away from a single gating maintainer.

The steering committee was formed to deal with political issues, which after the gcc/egcs reintegration includes most of the FSF interaction. Ideally the steering committee would not need to exist, but reality is unfortunately different.
