I would like to accept patches from a contributor who has already signed copyright papers with the FSF for past and future changes to Emacs (but not specifically to Emms.) Are their Emacs assignment sufficient for me to install their changes, or do I need to ask them to sign paperwork specifically for Emms? Note that all past significant contributors to Emms (from before I became maintainer) have assignments on-file for Emms, Emacs, or both. Stefan Monnier and I validated as much as in the past because I requested that Emms be included with Emacs. -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice"
