I don't know if it is a good idea for the GNU project in general, but as someone who sometimes need to check the copyright status of some contributors for Org/Emacs, the current setup is fine for me. Although, I don't think authentication would be optional as we should by default assume that the list of signed contributors should be kept private, shouldn't we? If the authentication system is mandatory then it raises the larger question of maintaining a system that needs security monitoring, and I'm pretty sure the current resources are too scarce for this... but maybe not. 2 cents, -- Bastien
