Hi,

I and Jeff have done the copyright assignment.

Jeff rebased the pgtk branch.
We are going to push his one to fsf's repository.  It is:
  https://github.com/fejfighter/emacs#branch=upstream-base
My pgtk branch contains too many merge commits, but his one doesn't.
Both branches contain the same contents.

I want to push his one to fsf's repository.  How to do it?
Can I get an account of the repository here?:
https://savannah.gnu.org/account/register.php
