You could enforce that all contributions transfer copyright to holder
for the project. I believe this is done for most FSF projects so they
can then take action as the sole copyright holder.
On the other hand for Linux, copyright is vested in hundreds of (some
untraceable) people. This might be the desired effect so the kernel is
GPL and practically impossible to change.
