This would be also very wise: 5.) an attestation that the contribution is put under the GPL license by the author and that he is entitled to do this. In other words to make sure that he is not using parts for his contribution like textures, photos, 3d objects etc. that is not his own work and incompatible to the GPL. Like things that are closed source, only freeware or under another incompatible license. This point is IMO important because for example in the MS Flight Simulator freeware-scenery community it can happen sometimes that some freeware projects are legally not okay. To prevent that the same happens in the flightgear world such an attestation would be usefull. People should know what they can do and what not, before they contribute their work. This is especially necessary in an area where work is often based on other data like maps (gis data), photos, textures etc..
