Totally off track :)

If there was a contributor agreement required, yes GNOME would have an
issue with it.  But, unless the code is in a project that is currently
Copyright Canonical there isn't any copyright assignment required.  So
making a patch to GNOME Control Center that set the same keys, wouldn't
be the same code, so it would have any Copyright issues.
