I would then suggest that emails are sufficient, at least from
authors of relatively minor contributions -- in the rather unlikely
event that somebody tries to retract their contribution, the
contribution can be reimplemented by somebody else, or removed without
doing severe harm.

People who do large-scale work are hopefully few enough that they can
resolve any licensing issue.  Or David can ask them for a more formal
document granting himself dictatorial powers, if he prefers. :-)
