Or we could make a one-time exception to our copyright paper's policy for Magit. That may not be easy either, but it might be done. This does not necessarily mean dropping the requirement to get legal papers. It could mean re-evaluating the legal papers process, instead, to ensure that it can be conducted entirely online. There was a bit of discussion on that topic in the past, and this push to get legal papers for Magit could be a good occasion to revisit it. Concretely, the proposal would be to work with the FSF's lawyers to set up an entirely-online copyright assignment process, with no need to email assign@gnu.org. "Getting legal papers from 100 Magit contributors" sounds a lot more scary than "getting 100 magit contributors to click through the FSF's CLA" (Contributor's License Agreement).
