Forms for assignment

Dear Sirs,
Please send me the forms, I'm going to add a library to org-mode.

Please discuss possible contributions to org-mode on the dedicated
mailing list: https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

Thanks,

I did last night, announcing the new ob-picolisp.el. 

Actually, I followed the instructions to obtain the FSF forms I found on
the Emacs website (cited in my first mail). I did not want to post to a
news group, but rather send a private mail to the FSF office, asking for
the assignment forms.

Maybe you should change that instructions? Why discuss this stuff in
public?

Will they send me the forms now, or do I have to take more action?
Cheers

Oh, sorry I missed that.   I wasn't sure you were the same Thorsten.

I will send you the assignment form in a private email.

I cannot change anything on the Emacs website, please ask the GNU
webmasters.

You can fill the form I will send you and wait for the FSF Copyright 
Clerk to process this.  Remember the clerk is alone in this job, so
please be patient.

Hi Bastien, Hi Stefan,
I did not want to cause so much confusion with my (supposedly private)
mail to the FSF. It all done now, thanks for your help.
