Personally, I trust the FSF, as a non-profit public interest charity,
to be a good copyright steward for Free Software code, so I think that
this situation is acceptable, as long as they actually follow through
with the contribution to glibc.
That said, a better option for this sort of situation would be for
contributors to assign to the FSF now rather than later.
