+Please email the following information to assign@gnu.org, and we will
+send you the disclaimer form for your changes.  This form is preferred
+when your changes are small, they do not add any nontrivial new
+files, and you are finished making them (aside perhaps from small bug
+fixes).
+
+If you would like to make further contributions to the same package,
+and you would like to avoid the need to sign more papers when you
+contribute them, you have another option: to sign a copyright
+assignment covering your future changes.  If that is what you want to
+do, please tell the maintainer you would prefer to sign an assignment
+of past and future changes.
