As far as I know a company can sign the copyright assignment
agreement to cover all its employees.
However, that does not make the company a committer, commit access
is given only to people that present themselves and go though the usual
"get to know me, review my patch, give me commit access" process.
The only difference is that when we ask "did you sign the copyright
assignment"
the answer will be "no need to, I'm covered by my company's one"
