You have equated two different kinds of cases:
FSF-copyrighted packages and non-FSF-copyrighted packages.
Emacs is an FSF-copyrighted package, so we do not allow code into
the repo unless it has a copyright assignment.
This is a legal policy, not a technical one. To change it for
merely technical reasons would be to let the tail wag the dog.
