This is a good question.

I've never thought about it, but AFAIU all contributors for all external
packages in Gnu Elpa need copyright assignments - right?

Are we sure that this is currently the case at all with all those
packages developed on Github (pull requests!) ?

And should there not be something said about that in elpa/README?
