What do you mean the copyrights are already assigned to the FSF?  Did you
sign a paper form for the Hurd source and sent it to the FSF?  Because that
is the only way you can do an assignment, and I have not seen you listed in
the list of people who assigned their copyright to the Hurd (however, if you
did it recently, it might not have been processed yet).

If you don't know what the hell I am talking about :)  just send a mail to
assign@gnu.org telling them that you want to assign the copyright of a
change to the Hurd to the FSF.  They will send you a few questions by email,
and then later send you the right form per snail mail.

You have basically the option to just assign the single change, or all
future changes you plan to contribute as well, which makes it simpler if you
plan to assign more than this one patch.  If you are employed as a
programmer, depending on your contract, you might need to get a waiver from
your employer, too.  assign@gnu.org will help you sorting this all out.

Bah :)  No reason not to fix it :)  But I think I would prefer to have some
comment there that indicates that this needs to be implemented rather than
no comment at all.  No need to send in another version of the patch just for
that, though (but if you send in another version anyway, it would be nice to
have that in).
 
Thanks,
Marcus
