This does not make sense. You can do the same thing with an agreement authorizing the FSF (or, more specifically, their lawyer) to act on your behalf, should a license violation involving your code come to their attention.

IANAL, but this sounds like something that would open you up to all sorts of liability. Merely giving away copyright is much more benign.
(Compare: "I authorize the FSF to use my bat as they see fit." versus "I give the FSF my bat.")
