Ken Manheimer has aleady stated that he is willing.  Presumably signing papers
for Emacs means giving copyright for offered contributions to the FSF,
not that anyone can take any code you have written and include it in Emacs.
In that respect, Barry Warsaw still needs to give his permission for
python-mode.el, doesn't he?

I think there is agreement that pdbtrack is a desirable feature and the
patch I scoped out was about 440 lines.  Since you will probably insist
that all authors are contacted for this feature alone, why not contact
them now?
