Also keep in mind that you don't need a copyright notice to own copyright, that it would be crazy for someone to claim you've assigned copyright on your changes without an explicit reassignment, and that libgit2's git.git-authors file that keeps coming up includes a comment with a heuristic for delving into the history to find the authors of some code. [...] > Permissable-Licenses: GPL Version 2 or later Wouldn't a signed message on your website or some other public place (e.g., the mailing list) do the trick? Or a sentence in a commit message saying "I'd be happy to have these changes relicensed under the GPL version 2 or later." sounds fine to me, at least.
