I couldn't find a form for copyright assignment neither in Emacs 21 
distribution nor in comp.emacs.* archives.  Where i can find one?  Where 
to send it to afterward?

I would suggest future `cyrillic-translit' to be with the modification 
of `cyrillic-translit-bulgarian' applied and the latter to disappear. 
It could be used by people who write bulgarian e-mails with latin 
letters for kick start (phonetic input method is not so obvious as 
translit input method but each letter is one keypress and a *lot* of 
people know it).

This is the same problem as having 2 Cyrillic-* language environments 
that differ only in coding system, isn't it?  Probably the ability for a 
language environment to have two or more selectable coding systems/input 
methods can solve such cases but it sounds complex.  Having two 
Bulgarian language environments sounds good to me but you Emacs people 
decide.
