I have no problem with that.  You can even add N other authors as long
as my name stays there.

FSF position is ambivalent.  They have made a decision (to suit their
convenience) and shifting the burden on me.  Their response is simply
not consistent with Emacs project policy or the most ethical one.

Both FSF and you [1] are "robbing Peter and paying Paul". 

For the serious observers, I have posted a response here.

I also cite the specific term of my future assignment based on which I
claim that I have the right to report on changes that is "not covered by
contract".
