Maybe you can offer some advice of the subject. I can help sort things out for the copyright assignments, of course. The main issue is whether the information exists about who contributed what. After that, we can see which of those contributors has already signed paperwork, which of the remaining ones has contributed a small enough amount that it can be considered trivial, which of the remaining ones has contributed code which has since been rewritten, and then try and contact the remaining ones to get them to sign the paperwork. And finally see what to do with the remaining chunks of code authored by people we can't find or unwilling to sign the paperwork (such code is typically very old, so it's often a good opportunity to revamp it).
