You should file copyright assignment papers with the FSF,
if you haven't already.  Here are instructions:

copyright-assignment-procedure
Description: Text document

Maybe `--files-from', since GNU tar uses that, but those names
aren't separated with NUL bytes.

Other ideas?

Some of those entries are way too cryptic and probably
won't mean anything to most people.  When I first wrote
many of them, they were not meant to be read by others.
