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
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html for
details.
