Some projects use a document that they call a "CLA". We ask for a copyright assignment. It is a legal document, and to make it suitable to rely on in court, we want it to be properly signed. Thus we follow legal advice from lawyers. However, this process has speeded up greatly in the past couple or years. If you don't get a reply in two weeks, you should ask again, and in another two weeks, please tell the Emacs maintainers. We will get things moving. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
