There was a private thread (Subject: t-mouse.el) between myself, RMS and
Alessandro Rubini (around 2005-01-05).  Alessandro said that he had no problems
with t-mouse.el being included and the main difficulty was tracking down Ian T
Zimmerman (actually one n as at start of t-mouse.el).  The FSF clerk contacted
me to say that he had an assignment for Ian in February 2006 (I've lost that
communication) and I committed the file shortly afterwards.

I have no way of checking who has made copyright assignments for Emacs but I'm
surprised Alessandro doesn't have one as his name appears as a developer
for Emacs on the Savannah website:
http://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist.php?group=emacs

How can that be?
