Because Gnus will become part of Emacs, I don't think that FSF will
accept a file without the copyright assignment.  It could go to the
contrib directory, but it may lose the original purpose and be
difficult to maintain.

As to patches, if the modification is minimal (for example, less than
10 lines as suggested), it can installed without assignment.  Gerd
suggested to list the change log with an attribution of the form "From
<you>".
