In 2024, I made some patches to GDB to support the Haiku operating system.
Thank you for your help with this.
Hi Trung,
Could you please answer whether you proceeded with the FSF copyright
assignment already?
Or maybe something like this email might also be enough.

One potential blocker for a large series like this is that the FSF
requires copyright assignment. You'd have to get assignments from
anyone who did substantial work.
We can review the patches before that, but it can't be checked in until
that process is done.
The way to do this is to write to assign@gnu.org and explain the
situation. They will get you started on the process. Normally this is
reasonably efficient.
When it's done you have to be sure to report back because we don't
always hear about it.
