David, it's great to hear you are happy to do this. As far as I know, the only copyrights assigned to the Foundation so far are those of Jimbo and certain edits by Bomis staff. The Foundation doesn't currently have any policies on the handling of its copyrights. I don't know how binding making an informal assignment on the mailing list would be; perhaps a lawyer could advise whether you need to physically sign something.
The FSF have a standard copyright assignment contract they get contributors to GNU projects to sign, I'm sure if we asked them they'd let us use a modified version of their contract.
