Not so: only copyright-worthy patches count (as for assignment). So
the underlying problem appears to be that copyright holders are not
listed in the file headers.
Further, I've signed a copyright assignment for gnulib, so presumably
it's all copyright the FSF, so why all the canvassing to relicense
anyway? Can't someone speak for the FSF and relicense the code on its
behalf?
