Ah, thanks, that's good to know. Lately I did not look at Emacs git. > I guess now is a good time to revisit: is there any chance of BBDB > ever getting assignment paperwork from its existing contributors? > As I understand it, though BBDB 3 is largely a rewrite it still > uses code patterns from prior contributors that may not be clear > from a copyright standpoint? I believe it is fair to say that the core of BBDB has been rewritten completely (the three files bbdb.el, bbdb-com.el and bbdb-mua.el), also some add-ons are "clean" (bbdb-anniv.el, bbdb-ispell.el, bbdb-snarf.el, bbdb-pgp.el) Loose ends include the add-ons bbdb-sc.el, bbdb-print.el and mua-specific pieces of code in bbdb-gnus.el and bbdb-vm.el. One option could be to incorporate the core of BBDB into GNU Emacs and keep the loose ends in savannah.nongnu.org. BBDB has a long history of having a core plus many add-ons.
