Hello Guilers!

New contributors are encouraged to assign copyright to the FSF by
emailing them one of the forms at
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/doc/Copyright/>,
especially if they intend to contribute significantly going forward.
New contributors may instead choose to not assign copyright to the FSF.
What about the following third situation: the contributor doesn't mind
assigning Guile-related copyright to the FSF, but the assignment process
can take or is taking a long time or there are some disagreements with
the assignment contract to resolve (which might not even be possible in
the end), so
(1) first the contributor sends the patches without copyright
assignment
(2) then they are applied (after review, revisions, etc.)
(3) once/if the assignment completes, the copyright headers in Guile
are adjusted appropriately.
-- this avoids the time delay, while at the same time hopefully
eventually doing the assignment.
Would such a situation be accepted? (It doesn't quite fit the two
mentioned options.)
Greetings,
Maxime.
