The git commit is done by David Reitter.  He is in copyright.list

People who do the commits aren't always the author of the code. I'm
cc'ing David so he can confirm. Could you adjust the ChangeLog
entry so that the relevant pieces are in his (or whoever's) name?
Thanks, and sorry for the extra bother.

Yep - though generally, just because someone commits to Emacs doesn't
mean they sign over all Emacs code they write (elsewhere) to the FSF,
as far as I remember.  In this case however this is perfectly fine.

I'm not a copyrights expert, but if some parts aren't assigned to FSF, should not the files (nsmenu.m, nsterm.m in this case) have another Copyright statement besides the one for FSF?


By the way, it's "Aquamacs", not "AquaEmacs".


I fixed it in the next commit, sorry for that.
