Markus,

I have skimmed the http://grass.itc.it/devel/index.php page, and
the SUBMITTING file, and I don't find any discussion of what GRASS
code commiter responsibilities are with regard to vetting code
submissions for legality.

I'd like to suggest that the GRASS PSC consider extending the SUBMITTING
file with a section on this topic and making part of the commiter approval
process requesting that the potential commiter review that information.
The text I use for GDAL appears under Legal in the document at:

   http://www.gdal.org/rfc3_commiters.html

I also think that approving commiters is one of the more important things
that the PSC does, and that each ought to be formally voted on.  If you
find your voting process is too cumbersome to handle this quickly, then
perhaps you have set yourself too long a voting period!

Best regards,
