I am not familiar enough with the code to comment, but from a
process standpoint, Roman could remove the copyright statements
before submitting, if that is what he / Agimatec wanted to do.  In
any case, once granted, existing committers could work with the code
and Roman could submit patches.  We have done this several times in
Commons:  contributors who are not committers grant code, then earn
merit in the normal way by submitting patches and contributing on
the mailing lists.
