This was one of my first thoughts as well. I don't think individual 
modules are copyrightable (is that a word?), except, as you say, complex 
build scripts.

How about adding a comment to contributed modules:

# contributed by: name <email>
# date: ...

A contributor can add copyright statements to relevant build scripts in 
the same manner, as is done for any kind of source code.

# Copyright 2005 name <email>
# this fancy build script is licenced under the GNU GPL version 2

Or something to that effect,
