This is a breaking change.  The published API says that random() is the base method and that getrandbits() is optional.

It is not okay to flat out ignore the opposing comments from the module maintainers.  Being on the steering committee isn't a license to do whatever you want, ignoring published APIs, breaking user code, and ignoring other contributors.  If you want to go forward with this, there should be a PEP (and you should be recused from adjudicating it).
