You can do this. Of course, you need agreement within the FPC team, but
there is no reason why we would need a GNU like copyright assignment
procedure for that.

No, you need approval of all copyright holders. Everyone who has submitted patches and did not explicitly assign the copyright to one of the FPC team members, retains the copyright on the code in that patch (to the extent that this code was copyrightable in the first place, i.e. it was not simply a typo-correction or so -- where exactly the boundary is can only be decided by a court on a case-by- case basis).
