Of course not; that would require recognizing XEmacs as a GNU project

 as those assignments take the form of two-sided contracts.  The
 XEmacs project would probably have to take assignments to the
 XEmacs project, and then, on its own, assign that code over. 
We don't want to do that.  The only stake XEmacs has in assignments is
so that GNU can use our code.  So when we encourage assignment, that
means we say "go to the FSF and assign to them".
