Not so much "not encouraged" as "no one's ever done it before and we haven't
created the necessary bureaucracy/infrastructure to handle it". We'd need to
create a copyright assignment form and process - if, that is, we decide it's
worth doing. :-)

(I think it probably is - plus it has come up a number of times in the GPLv3
discussions.)
