I'd be happy with either.

IANAL, but isn't MIT license compatible with GPL? Then maybe you could
license your contributions under GPLv2+, for example with the same
statement as GPLv2 to GPLv2+:
"Contributions after 2012-mm-dd are licensed under the terms of the
GNU GPL, version 2 or (at your option) any later version."

Though after that, the file would be dual licensed. Those who want to
use the MIT version can use the file before the change.
