There is a step missing here: contributors must not only have signed the

Yes, of course. Implied but omitted. My bad. Thanks.
So, my question is: what qualifies as "explicit" agreement? Does it
have to be "on the permanent record" in some manner?
In our business, an email that you keep tends to be enough. I would:
- Ask the relevant people by email
- Ask them to reply by email giving explicit consent
- Store those emails "forever"
- Make a note in a CONTRIBUTORS.txt or similar that these people
consented on a particular date
If that's ever in dispute, you can go back to those emails.
I don't see a reason for any kind of "wet signature" so long as
they've signed the contributor agreement. We're not *trying* to be
difficult. :)
