I think that both being able to build the hardware "in a garage" and
being able to outsource the production is critical.

organization to the Free Software foundation. -- Ivie

There is already lot of those:
1. http://fhf.it/
2.
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2018/organizations/6276259533291520
3.
https://foundationdevices.com/2020/12/leading-an-open-hardware-renaissance/
4. etc.. etc..

But they are not very influencial and seems to all follow a road to
failure for various political and suppression issues or being sabotaged
by FSF, thus why i believe that to achieve hardware freedom it has to
start with FSF.
