Emacs says "fewer than 15 lines":
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/annotate/head:/etc/CONTRIBUTE
We can accept small changes (roughly, fewer than 15 lines) without
legal papers. Anything more substantial requires a copyright
disclaimer or assignment (the latter is preferred, especially for
larger changes). Both of these involved filling out a short form and
filing it with the FSF. The process is straightforward -- contact us
at address@hidden to obtain the relevant forms.
I've updated worg/org-contribute.org to reflect this.
