Guile's README cannot override the law, so the expat license text
would need to remain. I think test-suite/README is primarily
concerned license compatibility and consistency, so I guess
for code from external sources, the ‘let GPL be the license’
requirement can be relaxed somewhat.
For example, see tests/srfi-27.test and tests/srfi-41.test -- they
appear to be Expat.
Something I forgot to mention: documentation! Would you be up
to documenting flexvectors in Guile (in ‘6.6 Datatypes’ I presume,
after ‘vlists’ maybe, with a cross-reference from
‘7.5 SRFI Support Modules’)?

As I understand it, a maintainer will inform you on what you
need to sign, etc -- it's a process initiated by the maintainer,
not the contributor.
