What about the following third situation: the contributor doesn't mind assigning Guile-related copyright to the FSF, but the assignment process can take or is taking a long time or there are some disagreements with the assignment contract to resolve (which might not even be possible in the end), so (1) first the contributor sends the patches without copyright assignment (2) then they are applied (after review, revisions, etc.) (3) once/if the assignment completes, the copyright headers in Guile are adjusted appropriately. -- this avoids the time delay, while at the same time hopefully eventually doing the assignment. Would such a situation be accepted? (It doesn't quite fit the two mentioned options.) Greetings, Maxime.
