I sent him another message > yesterday. His most recent changes have been reverted, which means his oldest extant non-trivial change is from 1995---more than ten years ago. If necessary, we can even revert the trivial changes going back to 1995; they are mostly doc fixes so there will be no loss of functionality. The main purpose of copyright assignment is intended to ensure the FSF is able to enforce of the GPL for Emacs---which is definitely doable given that everyone else has assigned copyright. Given this, and the fact that we have already made an effort to secure a copyright assignment from him, why not release Emacs 22 while we continue to pursue copyright assignment?
