OK, no problem. I'll ask Andreas to take a look, but everything
looks straightforward to me.

My understanding is that you have to sign fresh paperwork for each
project (I have to do it too... :-).

Perhaps there is way for you to sign paperwork for all FSF-owned
software at once, so that you won't have to do anymore. I've added
Karl Berry and Donald to the cc list, with the hope that they
can clarify.

Please start the process with them so that I can add your patches.
