It may be time to ask rms if the FSF can do the relicensing, rather than our current policy of tracking down all contributors and asking them to use their grant-back clause of their FSF copyright assignment as our backdoor of not having to involve the FSF.
It wouldn't hurt to ask rms this once, but I wouldn't want to bother him with minor requests like this every time they comes up. We have a general guideline that it's ok to relicense gnulib libraryish code using the LGPL, and all that's arguably needed is for rms to review the guideline.
