It's my feeling that people who have been following and contributing
to the project are pretty well aware of which organization is handling
the founding.

You can find some explicit explanations on the Challenge fund-raising website:

As one of the people who have contributed to maintaining the
LibreOffice websites, I'm guessing that perhaps we've been waiting for
the founding to arrive at its conclusion before drafting updated info.

But I don't think that any of the project contributors - whether full
TDF members or not - have any lack of faith in the goodwill and
diligence of the SC on the subject of setting-up the foundation and
establishing the bylaws. In fact, I've been keenly interested in the
subject myself (I've brought it up at past SC meetings as a community
member) and can tell you that things have actually proceeded faster
than was originally envisioned.

2 cents, and HTH. ;-)
