Apparently all copyright of submitted code is to be handed over to them, and they only accept patches from those select people (basically people who've submitted some legal documents reguarding the copyright, I would assume).

That's not exactly true; there quite a few GNU projects that work like you have described, i.e. developers assigning copyright to the FSF, but it is not a requirement. This is from an RMS mail sent to me about what it means to be a GNU project:

For a program to be GNU software does not require transferring copyright to the FSF; that is a separate question. If you transfer the copyright to the FSF, the FSF will enforce the GPL for the program if someone violates it; if you keep the copyright, enforcement will be up to you.
