The automation of icla contributors being compared to commits was mentioned in another thread[1].
>> 3 - Code is made up of commits by individuals that have signed the >> ICLA (or that are trivial commits) I foresee issues as there are lots of cases where github usernames are not easily compared to actual names. purplecabbage -> Jesse MacFadyen for one! In some cases github does not even contain the real name of the user. Maintaining a list would not only make this easy to automate, but it would help anyone looking to accept a pull-req from having to vet the contributor. This would require a change to our contributor workflow, but how should we do it? Some ideas. 1. Email to the dev list with a special subject ex. IAM Name->githubUser 2. add your info to a wiki page 3. add git username to the icla form ( not sure we can add to it ) 4. when one of us vets someone, we add them to a private? list somewhere 5. ... ?
