Sorry for the delay in repliing.  It seems both GRUB maintainers are terribly
busy these days.

Simon's assignment is complete now.  We would only need yours, and after this
I think we can start merging the code.

Please can you request the assignment papers to FSF's copyright clerk?  I've
added him to CC.

Also, if you can submit the other parts separately (FSF copyrighted code
from libgcrypt, Simon's patch, etc), we can start merging that right away,
without having to wait for your assignment.

Thank you
