I'm not following the US copyright law here, but Emacs contribution
policies:

,----[ etc/CONTRIBUTE ]
| * Copyright Assignment
| 
| We can accept small changes (roughly, fewer than 15 lines) without
| legal papers.  Anything more substantial requires a copyright
| disclaimer or assignment (the latter is preferred, especially for
| larger changes).  Both of these involved filling out a short form and
| filing it with the FSF.  The process is straightforward -- contact us
| at emacs-de...@gnu.org to obtain the relevant forms.
`----

It's not a matter of the change being trivial or not -- but of course,
it's even more frustrating not being able to apply your patch if it's
trivial :)
