Notice you must have passed the paperwork.
Well, don't you think that adding support for a new AVR device
would consist a simple change that doesn't require the full
paperwork?
I think it's always a good idea for a potential contributor to
file the paperwork, but for a change like this one, I don't see a
reason to hold it back until the copyright assignment has been
fully handled by FSF (which could take its time, as you know ...).
The FSF only allows changes of 10 lines or less in a patch, if there
is no copyright assignment on file.
We really can't get around this.
Isn't it possible for a potential contributor to "give" the patch to
someone who already has the FSF paperwork in order, and that person can
then submit the patch as "theirs"? Or does that open up too many
complications about rights and ownerships?
mvh.,
David
