+Like most core GNU projects, GnuPG requires the signing of a copyright
+assignment to the FSF. Without such an assignment we may only accept
+trivial patches. As a rule of thumb the sum of all changed lines by
+one contributor may not exceed about 15 lines. Exceptions are typo
+corrections and translations. See
