*contributors* have already made that decision -- they filed the
paperwork and *continue to* contribute. It would be irresponsible for
someone with an assignment, to revoke that assignment /and/ continue
contributing patches.
You could decide you no longer wished to contribute to an FSF project,
and no longer submit patches to it (in addition to any explicit
public/private message you might send).
AFAICT there is no example of adding a revocation to the copyright.list
file. I never noticed one. I noticed that my individual assignment,
including an employer assignment, never had a note later when I changed
employers and ended up covered by the employer's blanket assignment. The
closest it gets are assignments that are explicitly time-limited from
the get go -- they have a termination date when assigned.
Now, that's not to suggest your idea is inherently bad. The thought had
occurred to me too -- stop contributing. But I decided things would
have to be really dire to do that.
