Agreed.

I can't find a copyright assignment on file for you.  This change,
however, is a purely mechanical one without creative content of its
own.  I'll just recreate it manually and you can check afterwards, if
you want to, whether the diffs agree.  I should be surprised if not.
I have no idea whether you expect to contribute to Emacs in future.
If yes, it might be a good idea to ask for a copyright assignment form
for work on Emacs.

At the moment, there are probably not many people with an assignment
on file who would be dabbling with Polytoniko Greek input methods.
