I'm not objected to having a copy of the assignment request in our repository, but: . Someone(TM) should take up a job of making sure it is always up-to-date wrt the one the FSF copyright clerk expects; . we will still get requests about this, the only difference is that we will be able to point to the repository instead of sending it (I'm not sure which way is better for the person who asks about the form)
