FWIW, coreutils don't have people ask on the mailing list about this,
they just have this note in their HACKING file:

  The forms to choose from are in gnulib's doc/Copyright/ directory.
  If you want to assign a single change, you should use the file,
  doc/Copyright/request-assign.changes:

      https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/Copyright/request-assign.changes

  If you would like to assign past and future contributions to a project,
  you'd use doc/Copyright/request-assign.future:

      https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/Copyright/request-assign.future

I think doing the same would save us some work and help cut down on the
noise on these lists.
