I can point you at the FM if you like.
The short answer is that patches over a certain size and/or complexity
require copyright assignment. This also applies to a number of small
patches. The rule of thumb is that more than 10 lines of code needs
an assignment. This is a general rule across all of gcc (except those
few parts not owned by the FSF) and many other GNU projects.
