You make sure that the list won't reach concensus that the word is good enough for everybody. Even if you fail in doing so, there still is a recourse for you. When you see a (future) version of Git that allows you to configure the name of the default/primary branch, but does not yet switch the name of the default/primary branch from 'master' to 'main', you set the configuration variable(s) to 'master' (or whatever word of your choice) in ~/.gitconfig and move on. You won't be affected by the future switch from 'master' to 'main' by being prepared that way.
