If it is possible, I believe synchronizing the sources would be the
best, and I offer to work on making that happen.  When the files are
incorporated into Emacs, I believe the copyright template will have to
be changed, but other than that I can't see any reason why we can't
keep the files synchronized.

Of course, to be able to use synchronized copies, they cannot
require/load files for which FSF doesn't own the copyright on, which I
believe would include, e.g., APEL.  But none of the files from
FLIM/SEMI in Gnus today rely in APEL.
