Good question. I'm still not sure at which point we'd need a CLA filed for 
donations. Who could enlight us here?

Hi,

Attaching a patch with the whole project [1] is sufficient to be
treated as a code donation?

That was my question, in a way, with the guy who wanted to donate a Chinese
translation of the user guide. I thought the CLA was only necessary for
someone gaining write access -- whether to SVN or the Wiki. In the end, I
told him just to create a JIRA ticket and attach his stuff and I would
patch.

The CLA is not only for write access. In fact, it's not even really
related to write access. See the explanation here:

http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas

In this particular case, the first question seems to be whether or not
we believe the plugin needs to become part of the S2 core. The
contributor believes so, but I haven't seen any opinions from the
Struts developers one way or the other. If we don't believe it _needs_
to be part of the core, then we need do nothing, since it can stand
just as well on its own as a 3rd party plugin.

If we do believe it needs to be part of the core, then my preference
would be to have the contributor complete a software grant. See:

http://www.apache.org/licenses/#grants

This isn't so much because of the size of the contribution (it's
small) as it has to do with it being an identifiable entity in and of
itself. Thus I'd prefer to see the paper trail reflect the donation
explicitly.
