If they do decide to keep the change, you could escalate it to FESCo. However, (speaking only for myself here) I would be VERY reluctant to override maintainers on their packages on something that is a design decision/judgement call. Where would we draw the line?
Surely that is part of what FESCo is *for*? To give "guidance" when a single package wants to do something that's inconsistent with what users expect and what every other package in the distribution does.
That was my understanding when I served as part of FESCo. Perhaps things have changed since then?
