It's actually more than that: patches submitted to Emacs need to
conform to our coding and various other standards: include
properly-formatted commit log messages, documentation, and (where
appropriate) tests, etc. Patch review could require cleanup changes
etc.
People who find this too much of an effort should perhaps describe
their solution without showing any actual code, so that someone else
could implement it. This way, copyright assignment is not an issue,
and chances are the change will be eventually made.
Of course, it is better to actually sign papers, which is a one-time
hassle.

Yes. But that limit is quickly exhausted.
