I don't think contacting rms is as straight forward as you would think.

It couldn't be easier. His email is rms@gnu.org and afaik he is very good for replying.
Can confirm. He even replied to me when, as a noob kid, asked him whether I should choose vi or emacs as my editor.
Which did he say?
Trying to remember (a very long time passed), he was very kind and patiently told me that it's important to use the tool that works best for you. He added that for obvious reasons he uses emacs.

A proper saint.

He has never not responded to anything I've sent him, anecdotally.
I usually do it by chanting "XEmacs" three times while looking into a mirror.
