I assert that Tim Peters and myself have assigned copyright in python- mode.el to the FSF. I believe that Ken Manheimer has done the same, and I believe that Skip Montanaro has tried to do so several times in the past. This should cover the majority if not the entirety of the current python-mode.el file. I want it to be possible from a legal standpoint to merge python- mode.el and python.el, taking the best and most popular features and functionality from each. I think python-mode.el should form the basis of the merge, with code pulled in from python.el as needed. Andreas has the current momentum pumpkin for working on python- mode.el, so I want to find a way for him to do this while still retaining the ability to merge the two modes. Note that Andreas, AFAIK has not volunteered to do this merge, although others on the python-mode(a)python.org mailing list have expressed interest. If Andreas is unwilling to assign copyright to the FSF, then perhaps some other mechanism will be acceptable to him and to the FSF. Please explore this possibility.
