So I connected with the Purism folks on Matrix after a false start there. I mentioned the content on communicating with them could use a bit of refinement and it went pretty well. A healthy discussion ensued and some changes are on the way.

To me this is a great sign of the community, having worked in a lot of open source projects I can say this is far better than average.

I also got my favorite rep at the local Verizon store very interested in helping us get on the Verizon network, which is good. Might also drop a line or two about the project to some higher ups I know in Verizon the next chance I get to see if we can get technical help if we run into problems.
