The problem was with some of the other contributors, from what I remember.
For example, Andreas Roehler has issues with copyright assignments:

So it is. My views didn't change since.
Besides that, in 2008 an attempt was made to make a list of all the
contributors (it's presumably out-of-date now). The next step would be
for someone to figure out how much each person wrote.
Computing is about ideas, not about counting code-lines.
Even if a developer noticed a bug at the other side, which helped him to
choose the right alternative, the other part is involved. Copyright in
computing is such a nonsense, it's a shame pretending it.
But let's come to some mistakes more neareby:
- Stating someone signed the copyright-papers or not doesn't belong into
the comment section of a code-file. That why I coming upon and the only
reason so far.
- The problems of Emacs' Python edits don't result from the existence of
two different development branches, where _all_ developers have some
merits of every side, as pointed at above. The problems result rather
from a lack of imagination what's needed to have an environment as state
of the art.
So please, let's not jump into that eternal copyright loop. Let's go on
bug-fixing and maybe building the environment afterwards.
Cheers
Andreas
