    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?

This is a serious problem, and I will not treat it as ignorable.
