All copyright assignments should go to Dyne.org Foundation , with a link to https://www.dyne.org/ when appropriate.

Devuan isn't dyne, dyne is helping devuan, but it doesn't own debian, so, no, all copy assignments should not go to dyne, we should think about forming an informal group or something that can old copy for devuan instead, something using the name of VUA or devuan itself where all devuan "founders" are rapresented.

Dyne.org is a legal person that can hold copyrights and protect them, I recommend using that rather than get busy setting up something for the same purpose and that would be actually less trusted because of shorter track record. We can talk about desaster scenarios, but I can hardly see some as licensing is all clearly stated and the foundation's charter is bound to F/OSS.

As in current practice Dyne.org acts same as GNU: offers copyright attribution but never omits names of natural persons as authors, which is useful not only for legal copyright, but also for track record. So I'd say the attribution to Dyne.org is of course voluntary, what is mandatory is that the natural person has his/her own name and the copyright to him/her or Dyne.org. What is very important is that every file especially code has an header with the license and the name of the person involved and the year(s) involved.

In case this is not done properly we need to fix it adding the copyright notice, year and author ourselves, contacting the author regarding exposing personal name in public materials. In some cases the authors like to stay anonymous, which is another corner case where Dyne.org's (c) attribution comes handy.
