It's good that they are paying attention and listening. Changing the name is hard, but the logo is a good start.

They asked the broader open source community, and I saw the blog post, but are the authors representative of any of the Apache tribes? It seems one obvious missing piece is the foundation reaching out to at least some of the tribes to ask them what they think about this. I am sure they did over the years but probably failed to mention it on their site. The people in these tribes are normal human beings living today [1]. You can talk with them and see what they'll say. They may well request to do away with the name and the feather, and foundation should then respect that, but they may not mind, either, or may suggest altering the logo, the description, etc.
