Nowadays it is more common for people to just do one blanket assignment for all of Emacs, for past and future changes. And also, sometimes mistakes happen and things get committed without an assignment, or not marked "tiny change". So whether or not someone has entries in the ChangeLog doesn't really tell you anything about what kind of assignment they have. If you cannot check copyright.list yourself (or find the file unclear, as I sometimes do), it is best to ask assign@gnu for a definitive answer. It's not a big deal since if someone signed an assignment before they usually don't mind doing another (hopefully final) one.
