I find it is tricky with CPython. one line change in any .rst file, perhaps trivial. One line change in *.py or *.c file, might not be trivial and require CLA, issue number, news entry and so on. I guess if we do it this way, we need better guidelines of what requires CLA and what's not. To see this in different perspective, if someone wants to propose a trivial change and then refused to sign the CLA, I think it won't be hard for us to find another contributor who has signed the CLA to make that change instead. So I'm inclined to make this a requirement.

I've pinged Ernest about this. He said it is reasonable for The PSF to host an instance of cla-assistant. And he will look into it. I also wonder though, instead of hosting it ourselves, can't we just keep daily backups of the signed CLA? It's basically a list of GitHub usernames? Perhaps that would be an easier task than hosting and maintaining it.
