Assignment procedure these days?

Assignment procedure these days?

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I've completely forgotten what the assignment procedure is these
days.  Are we still supposed to send a message to, er, some FSF
address asking them to mail the assignment papers to the person who's
doing the assignment?

AFAIK, the person who wants to do the assignment sends a form like
the following via email.  They get back a piece of paper that they
then sign and snail back.

This form is for assign.future.  Not sure where to get other forms.

To save 1 hop the hacker can print, sign and send the paper first; than
they will sign it and snail it back.  At least, it work for me this way
earlier this year.

That's also how it worked for me, but now the procedure appears to
have been changed, for whatever reason.

The reason is simple: people are sending this paper when we need them to
send another paper. The first hop is for getting the *right* paper.
