Even if you contribute directly to www.gnu.org you need
to perform a copywrite assignment and possibly provide
a disclaimer signed by your employer.
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_7.html#SEC7
So, no, simply having GPL'ed the code does not absolve the
maintainer from this responsibility. Having non-assigned
copywrites poisons GPL'ed code.
