This reads as centralization and control effort. It will only provide the power to control opensource to whoever Akrites is (with the major bigtech including Google).

Thank you very much, but I remember what Google is doing with Android this September (closing third party installs using .apk).

This is my concern as well. If critical open source packages become dependent on these corporations for "secure" releases, does that enable them to force ID verification into packages, for example? Related, but most of the smart folk I know think Open Source AI means Anthropic and OpenAI are financially impossible. A lot of the companies signed onto this are heavily, heavily leveraged by those two, and have significant incentive to disrupt Open Source AI before all their customers get sticker shock. I've been waiting to see what their move would be, and this might be part of it.
