Perhaps more explanation is needed on that page. The purpose of the contributor's agreement is not to control contributions, it is to ensure that the code stays under the CPL license and can continue to be freely distributed. (If code were inserted that fell under another license, it could 'contaminate' the whole project.)
We intend eventually to let anyone who has executed the license contribute, as long as they follow the peer review procedures. The main thing holding that step up is finding the time and resources to move the development branch and team to SVN from p4. Currently SVN is read-only because it is a one-way mirror of p4. Eventually it will be read-write for authorized contributors.
