If I understood correctly, the FSF copyright assignment form should be provided by the maintainer of the project? If so, could you provide us the assignment so that we can complete it. We already follow the GNU coding standard, our only point of divergence is that we do not use the Changelog and that most of the commit message do not follow the GNU standard (which means I will have to rewrite most of the commits to include the Changelog entries and rewrite the commit messages). Once, we complete the FSF copyright assignment form I will send in the patches. I will act as a maintainer for the port. Thanks, Paul Iannetta Kalray
