Originally, the IP Clearance was intended for "block contributions" larger than suitable for a Jira patch file, and from people outside the community. For example, it could be code that was made at SourceForge and IP Clearance was to make sure that the the OK/interest of the authors was recorded (via ICLAs, IIRC).
In this case, it seems that the author is on the PM, have an ICLA on file, the work is part of the same commit tree, so I see no reason for the ASF to doubt that he had the permission from the company to commit/push.
