Contact other contributors as a courtesy, but not let it worry us if
some of them prove uncontactable, only if someone actually objects?
Submitting a patch or code does not imply copyright assignment.
So we cannot assume copyright Pan for the whole thing.
Right, but not all code has a separate copyright. Repairs, for example,
do not. So it is actually feasible that Pan can determine who needs
to be contacted based on the change log and only contact those whose
contributions were more than repairs to Pan's work.
