Correct. Except for code that is pushed through a JIRA/Bugzilla ticket,
assuming it's traced back to an individual, and its IP is cleared (bit
most of the time, it's just patches, so that's fine)

No only : it also protect the committer, from  legal standpoint.

All companies don't allow their employee to work on a OSS project, even
during their free time, so obtaining their company's CCLA is a legal way
to make so that their contribution has been agred on.
