WDYT? I think adding this to the copyright-assignment request is not the best idea: most contributors submit their changes directly to Emacs, so this issue doesn't arise. This issue is relevant only when a package that was maintained outside of Emacs is being incorporated into Emacs, and those cases are quite rare.
