Well, my position is : "is 'gust' something that really can be called
a 'foundry', basically an organization that includes font creation in
its objectives/goals" and "is there a need expressedby them for their
name to remain mentioned" (that last item includes having the foundry
name in the font name, as we have in SIL fonts).

In this case both fonts-gust-{texgyre,lmodern} and
fonts-{texgyre,lmodern} seem acceptable, so adding "gust" should be
done only if "needed" by the above vague rule.

Sorry, this is vague and prone to interpretation but I don't really
see away to carve a rule in stone and cover all cases..:-)
