Why is it specific to =E2=80=98America country=E2=80=99 (whatever it is)?
I thought, contributing to GNU does not require it, unless the subproject, =
you are sending patches to, have a strict copyright assignment policy, in w=
hich case FSF clerks indeed ask you to reveal you identity to them (and onl=
y to them, not publicly). Am I wrong?

What =E2=80=98it=E2=80=99? The current all-or-nothing policy, where anyone=
who is going to contribute more than 15 lines or so have to undergo a pape=
rwork, proved to be unnecessary overkill by the enforcement story of the mo=
st enforced free program so far =E2=80=94 Linux=C2=AE.
The other side of coin is that FSF does not encourage authors of GNU packag=
es, that have not adopted this strict copyright assignment policy, to assig=
n their copyright.
In other words, GNU software maintainers have to choose between loosing cer=
tain number of contributors or totally loosing legal enforceability =E2=80=
