@lurdan @myuhe Would it be possible to receive copyright assignments from both of you, to the FSF for your work on alert.el?

[lurdan]

@jwiegley I'm willing to, but please give me time to do the paperwork... (In response to #27, I had tried to send email to assign@ in 2015 without any reactions. I may have to know how...)

[jwiegley]

@lurdan Sure, I think that @albinus may be able to help accelerate things for you this time around.

[albinus]

@jwiegley I'm willing to, but please give me time to do the paperwork... (In response to #27, I had tried to send email to assign@ in 2015 without any reactions. I may have to know how...)

@lurdan please contact me at michael.albinus@gmx.de. We will check the status, and finish what's left to do. Likely, we'll start the copyright assignment process anew.

@lurdan (KURASHIKI Satoru) has signed the copyright assignment, and is on file now.
