If the "original authors" accept a developer's code to be integrated
into the BusyBox project they show their intent to include that new

No, that's completely wrong. The new developers prepare
work distributed under the GPL, distribute it to the
original developers, and those developers prepare a
derivative work based on the original program and the
new piece, and distribute that under the GPL. No one
is creating a joint work.
So taking someone else's work and republishing it as a whole is not joint
authorship? You are in an untenable position to be sure!
