Stefan, As a general question about process around accepting software contributions, one thing I'm a little confused about: How does accepting this contribution differ from a normal contribution? By that I mean, suppose a developer contributed a significant patch to our code, through the normal process or attaching a patch to a JIRA ticket. My understanding is that they don't need to sign a CLA or other legal paperwork to do that, as long as the committers who ultimately apply the patch have those on file.
What are the criteria that determine when something needs additional legal paperwork (like a grant/contributor CLA/etc)?
