Re: Copyright assignment for Rust-GCC

[David Edelsohn <dje.gcc@gmail.com>]

First, please be more patient.  People only are now returning from the
end of year vacation.  And the FSF may not respond immediately in the
best of times.

Second, you must get the assignment document from the FSF.  They
create a custom, pre-generated assignment form.  It takes time for
them to transfer your information to the form and send it.  It isn't a
click-through CLA.

Thanks, David
