In the August 2006 thread about whether gnucash is or is not a GNU project https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-August/018378.html there was a discussion about copyright assignments.
Just for the record, the only related entries I could find in the official FSF copyright.list file are a bunch of disclaimers from Gnumatic dating from 2001 (included below), as Linas discussed in several messages inthe above thread. I don't see any actual assignments to the FSF, or from the individuals named below. Therefore I conclude that the copyright to the program is held by all the individual contributors. Anyway, such copyright assignments have nothing to do with whether something is an official GNU package. Copyright on many GNU packages is held by their authors, not the FSF. karl ANY Gnumatic Incorporated 2001-01-31 Disclaims operating system components and changes to free software by Dave Petrcolas, in the past and for the next 100 years.
