Additionally to Tassilo's answer: if it's tiny it doesn't need such paperwork. Yes, copyright paperwork annoys a few people. Some of those are sufficiently annoyed to refuse doing it, but most of them (like yourself) will still accept doing it. Especially if you remind them that it covers all Emacs contributions rather than just the current patch. Stefan
