Hmmm.

Is it a valid thought, that we might want to get all new (from now?)
contributors to assign all their contributions to Whichever Entity We
End Up Choosing?

So that we don't keep on growing the list of people we'd have to
retro-actively contact and get agreement from.

I guess we need to decide if "longer term" we want to have things
attributed to One Entity, and if we do decide to do that, we should
think about how to get there (efficiently). :)
