Hi,

I have a set of patches which allow GBB 6.6 to be built using MinGW/MSys 
for a mingw host which I would like to contribute for consideration.

 From reading through the contribution requirements it seems that I need 
an FSF assignment on file before submitting patches. It's not clear to 
me how to request the necessary paperwork, perhaps I'm just looking in 
the wrong place.

Is it sufficient to request paperwork via the list and do I need to do 
this for each project I wish to submit patches for? I have some minor 
patches for Insight, gcc and some more extensive work I'd like the 
newlib maintainers to consider.

Would it be preferable to create the gdb patches against CVS before 
submission?
