Isn't there something to be said for: i) assuming that contributors
will want to continue contributing; and ii) trying to minimize the
number of pieces of paper people have to sign? I've always offered
assign-past-and-future for the whole of Emacs as a default option to
contributors, no matter how much they contribute initially. Should I
stop doing this? Is there some reason to actually _prefer_ a
disclaimer for smaller changes?
