Subject: bug#32676: [PATCH] Add option to highlight the 'next-error' error message
Date: Sat, 29 Feb 2020 16:40:01 +0100

Hi Ernesto,

To accept your contribution to Emacs, we need to you to assign
copyright to the FSF.  You can read more about the reasons why here:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html

Before we can make any progress with this patch, I think we need to
clarify that point.  Would you be willing to sign such paperwork?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
