I absolutely appreciate it!
Wget/Wget2 is a community project :)

"Trivial" changes can be accepted without the FSF copyright assignment. 
The rule of thumb is if your summed contributions are below 15 lines of 
code, it is trivial. But it also depends, e.g. changing 100 lines from 
info_printf to debug_print may also be trivial.

I'll attach the copyright assignment file, just in case you consider 
signing it (can also be found as 
gnulib/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future in the wget2 main repo after 
doing `./bootstrap`).
