I'm not "the GCC maintainer that is taking care of your contributions".  I 
don't have an FSF account; in general most of the 100 or so GCC 
maintainers don't need one, but there isn't any system set up for access 
to gcc.gnu.org to give access to current versions of the forms.  (And RMS 
doesn't want the forms on the web.)

RMS has also stated a preference for there to be 8 rather than 46 people 
who handle all the sending forms 
<URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2000-11/msg00872.html>.  Perhaps someone 
could work out a list of 8 or so maintainers with FSF accounts who will 
handle all the form sending?

(Has there been any progress on the manual copyright issues mentioned in
that message?)
