I'm thinking of a recent > gnus-spec.el patch. 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 ". ShengHuo
