Yup, I guess you're probably right ...

But that would mean that our plan from the meeting at DebConf8
doesn't work:

~~~
* Create a boilerplate that refers to changelog for the contributors.
* Ask contributors when joining the group to accept the "default
  mechanism" and keep gpg-signed mails.
* Optionally add yourself to debian/copyright if you see fit.
~~~

Any other comments? I think at least the "ask contributors to sign
something" idea was from Don?

Cheers,
