Stefan,

Following the recent commit in the etc/TODO for magit below.

'
*** Magit
This needs work on getting the relevant copyright assignments.  This
task should be highly doable for anyone, but will likely require some
patience.  For inspiration, see how this was done for 'use-package':
https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/issues/282
'

Would you be able to confirm which contributors are missing assignments
on file?

Examining which contributions are significant may take time.  How about
tackling clarifications by filing this under a bug report for ease of
tracking (not yet part of Emacs so I would like confirmation on the
preferred conventions.)

Below is a recent extract.

Quite a lot.  Do you need a full list?  Is it feasible to reach out to
all of them?

I don't know how feasible this is (Jonas may know more on this), but

For this reason, yes I would like to see the full list of missings to
guide next steps.

Many thanks, I've started to email contributors and opened bug#72127 to start the tracking.

Thanks for working on this.

Note that we only need copyright assignments from authors that have made
"non-trivial" contributions. So by looking at this more closely you
could probably get the number of names down a bit.

There are no hard rules here but, for starters, we don't need
assignments from authors that have changed fewer than 15 or so lines of
code. Some other contribution(s) might count as trivial even if they
touch more lines (e.g. if they have just been fixing typos, if there are
whitespace changes that take them over the limit, or if they have just
moved some large function).

Do let us know if you have any doubts here, though. Better safe than
sorry.

Yes.  We will find people to help.

There are ~240 entries in the list of magit contributors who have not
signed papers.  I expect the contributions of most of them are small.

Is it possible to calculate the number of changed lines (from git
diffs) for each of those persons, and sort the list of contributors
without papers by those numbers?  The list of people whose changed or
inserted lines number at least 8 will probably be much shorter.

For the magit contributors that have signed papers for Emacs, we
should ask each one to send an email confirming that perse will regard
per contributions to magit as contributions to Emacs, once magit is
included in Emacs.

We should save all those emails in one file, and give it to the FSF
copyright assignment people to save.

This seems handy for the task:

Thanks, but I think "git annotate" or "C-x v g" will be much more
useful in this case, since we are only interested in how many lines
which are currently in the package a given author is responsible for.

It's your call of course, but it seems strange to me: say I contributed
20 lines of code some time ago, and in the meantime someone edited it
slightly, splitting it, moving it around, changing indentation... "git
annotate" will say that most of my lines of code "belong" to someone
else, but does that really matter in the context of copyright
assignment? I'd say that I had still contributed those 20 lines of code,
and thus I should sign the assignment paper, shouldn't I?

ciao, lele.

What about the other case: you contributed some code, but later all of
that was deleted?

I agree that some forensics and maybe "C-x v h" will be needed, but my
point is that git-commit-metrics is not necessarily the right starting
point, because it could easily show you a very distorted picture.

But it's nevertheless the only sensible starting point to discriminate
between "greater than X lines" or "less than X", so that you could focus
only on the first set of people, to see if (at least) X lines of my
contributions are still there. With "git annotate"-based approaches, you
end to apply the forensics on all the contributors.

Anyway, got the point.

So far I have asked the contributors to consider returning the copyright
assignment form, which names Emacs.  Would this not be sufficient?

That's unrelated.  We ask all contributors of packages that started as
3rd-party and are added to Emacs to confirm that they agree to donate
their package to Emacs.

Lele is right -- so it seems that `git annotate' is not the right way
to count someone's contribution.

In this case, there is no need for this contributor to submit papers.
I think it will not be terribly hard to checl by hand for this
rare situation.

Yes and no.

Since Magit is not part of Emacs, interpreting the Emacs assignment in
a strict sense says it does not cover magit now.

However, we aim to make magit part of Emacs.

So a lawyer gave me the advice that you've quoted above,
to clarify that the Emacs assignmets DO cover magit.

Which means "git annotate" actually _is_ the right way, at least part
of it.  The question is where to start and how to converge between
these two.

I don't know how to test that by hand.

Thanks for explaining the origin of the advice.

For future iterations and given the importance of defending the GPL
using unambiguous language as far as possible, perhaps it may help to
define a standard text to provide to contributors?

How about something in the style of the 'form' to send to
assign@gnu.org, and that can be distributed by maintainers, proposed
wording below.  WDYT?


--- PROPOSED WORDING
--- INSTRUCTIONS TO SEND TO THE FSF - PACKAGE RELATED

[What is the package considered for inclusion Emacs?]
Package Foo

[Assigment statement]
"I confirm that I regard my contributions to Package Foo as
contributions to Emacs, once Package Foo is included in Emacs."

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.

It appears I didn't explain my idea clearly enough, I'll attempt to clarify.

I am proposing a *separate*, much smaller, form, modelled on the main
form.  A sort of 'package form'. The advantages are

1. The wording can be agreed in advance to be the most appropriate.

2. This 'package form' can be distributed by the Emacs maintainers to
those volunteers willing to follow-up on package assignments, and
everybody uses the best wording as per 1.

WDYT?

If this is for us, then how is it different from just asking whether
they contribute the package?  The assignment form is a form because the
FSF assignment clerk needs to collect specific information, but here
no specific information is needed, just an informal agreement.

IOW, why codify and formalize something that is informal to begin
with, and a simple question to ask?

Because, at least from my own interpretation of the thread, that by
asking the question in an imprecise manner it may not satisfy the
conditions set by the advice from the lawyer.  Hence the suggestion to
formalize the question itself, even if short.

But perhaps this is an abundance of caution on my part, I have so far limited
experience of following up contributor's assignments.

IME, the exact words to reach out depend on the package and its
developers, so I think it is best not to have any standard wording,
but leave it to the Emacs maintainer to come up with it.

In the case where someone's past contribution was all deleed, `git
annotate' would show a sign of that.  But its results can be misleading
in some other cases.

Consider another case: someone did minor edits on all the lines of that
past contribution.  In that case, none of the contributed lines
would survive unchnged, but most of the material of the contribution
would remain.

Thus, one you see that someone made enough contribution to matter,
you need to check the code to see if that contribution is still present
in modified form.

One obvious difference is that in this case we already do have an
assignment contract, and the question is presisely what "contributios
to Emacs" covers.  ISTR that the lawyer considered an simple statement,
that we had a record of, to be sufficient.
