Or we could make a one-time exception to our copyright paper's policy for
Magit. That may not be easy either, but it might be done.
This does not necessarily mean dropping the requirement to get legal papers.
It could mean re-evaluating the legal papers process, instead, to ensure that
it can be conducted entirely online. There was a bit of discussion on that
topic in the past, and this push to get legal papers for Magit could be a good
occasion to revisit it.
Concretely, the proposal would be to work with the FSF's lawyers to set up an
entirely-online copyright assignment process, with no need to email
address@hidden "Getting legal papers from 100 Magit contributors" sounds a lot
more scary than "getting 100 magit contributors to click through the FSF's CLA"
(Contributor's License Agreement).
