Altruism or not - it's a very bad idea to handle rights over open-source trademarks by one US-based organization due to aggressive political interventions from the gov: e.g. gitlab case with discrimination over russian/chinese hires, case with github removing Iran accounts, etc.
Open-source should be extensively distributed over many actors to prevent any government censorship and attacks by political reasons.
