To do that, I need to check whether they have signed the copyright papers. I searched a long time for where I can check that. I did find nothing in the Emacs sources. I quickly had a look at the savannah pages, but didn't find something. Then I used internet search, and the only hint I found was in: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html | To check whether papers have been received, look in | /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list. If you can=E2=80=99t look there directly, | fsf-records@gnu.org can check for you. Our clerk can also check for | papers that are waiting to be entered and inform you when expected | papers arrive. I don't understand the "look in /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list" part - what does that mean? I tried to visit https://www.gnu.org/gd/gnuorg/copyright.list but got 404. How to do it right? And finally: was my searching too dumb, or is this information really not that easy to find? Thanks, Michael.
