"erc" is not a valid package, so this ended up on the help-debbugs list.
I am resending it so it appears on the bug-gnu-emacs list.

I suggest people forget about packages on the whole. You can just put
"erc" in the title for much the same effect. Though if you want to use
the submit@ address as opposed to bug-gnu-emacs, you should specify a
package "emacs".

Please also not that "emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com" was retired some
time ago (though it still works), it is "debbugs.gnu.org" now.

Looks good.  Do you have Emacs copyright assignment papers on file, or
if not, are you willing to sign such papers?  (All contributions to
Emacs needs to have the copyright assigned to the FSF.)

Hello there,

I tried to understand what this "copyright assignment" thing is but I got lost
in all the text:  http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html

I wrote that patch 6 years ago and I don't even remember what it did.
I don't want to sign any legal docs about it.

If you still like the patch, feel free to use it as you see fit. Feel free to
even remove my authorship information if this makes bureaucracy easier!

Cheers and sorry for the confusion!

Thanks, but it doesn't quite work that way.  :-)  So I'll just close
this bug report as a "wontfix".

The signature gives us the right to assume ownership of it within Emacs. If
you send a letter to assign@gnu.org, they'll send you the necessary paperwork.
