I'm not sure if this is a tedious process but I do believe that it is worth it in the end, when the FSF is able to legally defend this freedom.

It's not difficult. The process is described here: https://www.fsf.org/licensing/assigning.html

I've done this in the past for both Guile and Emacs.

For project maintainers it is a little bit more involved: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legal-Matter...
