Yes. But the article "Our need for copyright papers has not gone away"
by Richard Stallman explains, among other things, that it makes a big
difference whether a small part or a large part of the package is not
covered by copyright assignments.
In the case of Gnulib so far, it's less than 2% of the code. That's
a small part of Gnulib.
It would be much, much worse if a *large* part of Gnulib was not
covered by copyright assignments.
Similarly, Bradley Kuhn [1] reminded to think about the *long term* mix
of copyright holders.
