No, we have not yet started that process -- but indeed perhaps already
should. Yue, the GDB project, as part of the GNU project, requires
copyright assignment for any substantial changes,
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html>. For simplicity, I suggest
you use the »assignment form for your past and future changes«, which I
have attached to this email. Would that be OK for you? As you're
working on Hurd-related things, I suggest you request papers for all
relevant projects, so please specify the following: GDB, Hurd, GNU Mach,
glibc. When you send the email, please put me in CC.

Sorry, I have not been aware of actually having to do this. Now added.
