To do that, I need to check whether they have signed the copyright papers. I searched a long time for where I can check that. I did find nothing in the Emacs sources. I quickly had a look at the savannah pages, but didn't find something. Then I used internet search, and the only hint I found was in: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html | To check whether papers have been received, look in | /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list. If you can’t look there directly, | fsf-records@gnu.org can check for you. Our clerk can also check for | papers that are waiting to be entered and inform you when expected | papers arrive. I don't understand the "look in /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list" part - what does that mean? I tried to visit https://www.gnu.org/gd/gnuorg/copyright.list but got 404. How to do it right? And finally: was my searching too dumb, or is this information really not that easy to find? Thanks, Michael. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Hmm, so I visited http://fencepost.gnu.org/gd/gnuorg/copyright.list in chromium. Chromium froze for half a minute, then downloaded an empty file. `eww' just showed an empty page.

Hmm, so I visited > http://fencepost.gnu.org/gd/gnuorg/copyright.list fencepost is accessible via SSH (only, AFAIK) and only to people who have an account. My understanding is that the copyright list is not available publicly for the usual privacy reasons. Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Ask me or John. And if that doesn't work, ask fsf-records@gnu.org. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
