I know very little of how the FSF works. From what I understand the FSF is copyright holder, and all contributers have assigned copyright to the FSF. The copyright statement also only mentions the FSF. The documentation does mentions 4 authors. It would be nice if they could agree to it also. But I have no idea what legal rights they have to publish this under a different license.
You are correct that all libtool maintainers and major contributors have signed a contract which assigns rights to the FSF. Since the FSF owns the work, the FSF would need to make the decision.
