Hello:
When I move ivy-posframe (https://github.com/tumashu/ivy-posframe) to gnu-elpa,
I can not contact with a contributer , and I do not know his GPL paper status.
1. his patchs: https://github.com/tumashu/ivy-posframe/commits?author=noctuid
2. The length of his patchs is > 15 lines.
2. his patchs are rewrite ivy.el and swiper.el's exist functions, so many code of his patch come from ivy.el and swiper.el, ivy.el and swiper.el are gnu-elpa packages.
How should I do? wait or elimit his commit?
Other info:

Indeed, looking at those patches makes it sound like they're not quite
trivial enough.
I've also sometimes found it difficult to get in touch with some people.
Filing an issue in their repository is an alternative way to contact
them (which I have never tried, tho, because I prefer to keep my github
use to a minimum).

Maybe if you decompose his patches into "copy code from gnu-elpa" (his
copyright doesn't apply to this) and then "modify that new code"
(copyright does apply to that), the end result is simple enough to pass
the "15 lines or so" test.
Then again, copying code is better avoided, so maybe you can rewrite his
changes in such a way that they make use of (i.e. share code with)
ivy/swiper code rather than copying it. That would circumvent the
problem and improve the code at the same time.

In his patch, I think using code from ivy.el and swiper.el is a normal thing,
for ivy-posframe-swiper-avy is just posframe version ivy-swiper-avy
and ivy-posframe-avy is posframe version ivy-avy,
If I were him, I will do same thing :-) because ivy-posframe is a melpa
package at that time, no need consider gpl paper. :-)

How many of those lines contain code he wrote?
There is no need to count the code that he left unchanged.
If what he wrote is short, and not crucial, then you can ignore
the copyright issue for that.
Or you can rewrite the code some other way. It sounds like that
won't be a lot of work.
