RMS isn't the one bikeshedding it.

  he's the one forcing it -- he's not an active member of libc anymore, he's not a maintainer, but he decided that his personal joke from 20 years ago absolutely must remain in the documentation because he's petty. He sounds like the one in need of a safe space where nothing ever changes

    It's more like he's preventing bikeshedding by stopping them from making irrelevant non-technical decisions.

      There was already a consens before he decided to contribute his own opinion to a triviality. By doing so he prolonged the discussion at least a bit. Forcing your opinion about a pointless and otherwise done issue on others seems like textbook bikeshedding to me. At leaast now he can honestly say he is still actively involved with glibc.
