The contributors are all (sub)contractors of Dremio, who were retained to work on this project. I checked with the lead author (Kyle Porter) and he confirmed all IP is with Dremio, who filed the software grant - is that what we're looking to confirm? A CCLA was not filed with Apache, as we followed a similar process to a prior grant from Dremio [1]. Unless you mean the agreement between the contributors and Dremio?
