*Wrong*. He did assign those patches over to the FSF. I know that because we
had a mail exchange on that matter. I pointed him to the necessary documents
to sign and he in turn sent me notice when the assignments had been sent to
the FSF. As this happened last year, the assignment should be filed with the
FSF by now.

Given those facts, I'd say you should get your paperwork done as then your
work could be integrated *if* the maintainers agree.

Congratulations on your work, which I'll try out in the next days.
