Based on what I am reading here, I can either do the DCO path or the copy
right form path? Or is it both, where I send in the copy right forms and
then on every commit I put the DCO?
I thought the text is pretty clear. As already mentioned,
https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal
gives you the options. One of these options is:
"Alternatively, a contributor can certify the Developer Certificate of
Origin for their contribution by adding the Signed-off-by: tag to their
submission."
If you opt for this variant,
https://gcc.gnu.org/dco.html
tells you everything. Basically (but please read yourself):
"The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
pass it on as a free software patch. ..."
[...]
"then you just add a line saying:
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <ran...@developer.example.org>
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.) ..."
I think this would be sufficient.

Hello and Happy New Year!
I wanted to follow up on this patch I made to address PR82943 for
GFortran. Has anyone had a chance to review it?
Thanks,
Alexander Westbrooks
Inserting myself in here just a little bit. I will apply and test
today
if I can. Paul is unavailable for a few weeks. Harald can chime in.
Do you have commit rights for gcc?
I am not aware of Alex having a copyright assignment on file,
or a DCO certificate, and the patch is not signed off.
But I might be wrong.
--- snip ---
I do not mind committing this but need clarifications regarding the
copyright (copyleft?) rules in this case. In the past we have allowed
small contributions like this. This may be a little more than minor.
It is. This is why I pointed to:
https://gcc.gnu.org/dco.html
Regardless it appears to do the job!
