Actually, you're correct. Guido replied to python-dev today (but unfortunately omitted you from the CC: list) the following:

Eventually we'll want one from you too. In this specific case of code that is known to be distributed as part of glibc as well, I think it's important to have an explicit paper trail from the original author (who better be the author of all lines he's contributing to us :-). I recommend that he sign the Proposed Contribution Licensing Agreement. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) So, being Guido the BDFL, I'd take his word on it. I think the process would be filling out the form, mailing it and dropping a note to python-dev at python.org (or replying to the original mail) letting people know that the form has been sent. I'll try and take care of the rest from there (and I'll let you know if something has come up).

I mailed this today.
