There are in fact multiple such umbrella orgs available; the first
few that leap to mind are:
* Software in the Public Interest <http://spi-inc.org/>
* Apache Software Foundation <http://apache.org/>
* Free Software Foundation <https://fsf.org/>
I'm sure there are others that I'm missing, but I'd guess
at least one of those would be a reasonable partner org.
