Unfortunately there have been difficulties with arranging a copyright 
assignment contract from eCosCentric to the FSF so "transferred shortly" 
was evidently optimistic :-|. The ball is at present in their court, but, I 
suspect due to many legal activities and GPLv3, their legal department's 
workload appears to be quite heavy since the turnaround has been slower 
than expected (being diplomatic I won't go into detail).

I have been actively pursuing this and am continuing to do so. In saying 
that, it's probably about time for me to ping them again anyway.
