I seem to remember something on the lines of that the traditional reason was so that a project could be sure that the contributor had an ICLA on file with apache so as to not expose the project to legal risk of code that was contributed that the contributor did not have any rights to. We should probably check with folks from other projects who've had experience dealing with stuff like this?
