"...other folks could go take a hike..."
Indeed they could - just as they can now...
"So, whose code is it?"
The 'they' that own it...in this specific case, my guess is Wietse...
"...who organically came to the terms white/black list..."
Or really believe that context truly matters which leads them to
understand that white & black in a piece of software config or log file
has nothing to do with past or present social abuses and the quest for
justice...

That's it. That's the thing. I suppose if it was my code and I
wanted to make that change other folks could go take a hike.
So, whose code is it?
If it were my code and I were dead (interesting prospect), I would try
to lay curses from the afterlife on those who would so arrogantly
rewrite my legacy (for better or for worse). I suppose that also
applies to the millions of humans who organically came to the terms
white/black list.
The dev that overrides all of them is a (or feels like a) God
(pronounced in a Wharf voice "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!")
