This sounds like a good approach. Although contributing to Emacs is not that simple, we should strive to ease people into it rather than give them all the rules in one big (and forbidding) gulp. As for the request to put the forms online: I think the idea is that we want human interaction there, so that we can help the contributor by selecting the form appropriate for their contribution. It's not like we're so swamped by potential contributors that we can't handle the load of giving them this little help. That being said, if you want an online copy of the forms you can get it here: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/doc/Copyright/
