What is the best way for me to check if a person has signed copyright
papers for Emacs (and which kind of papers) in case I want to apply a
patch of that person?

Connect to fencepost and read or grep copyright.list:

   grep Hannu /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list

Ah, so I would need an account on fencepost.   Hmm, maybe I'll just
ask someone who does when the occasion arises.

Any reason why this file isn't available from public FTP somewhere in
the GNU hierarchy?  Downloading this file from a local mirror of GNU
here in Europe is usually *much* faster than logging into fencepost.

Only people developing GNU software have legitimate reasons to access
this information.  It is good practice not to share it with others.  I
mean, would you expect your employer to hand over it's personnel
administration to anyone asking for it?

We don't want to publish all the info about our contributors
that is in the file copyright.list.
