I notice that PR 10594 (Add support for otherName:NAIRealm in output) got merged yesterday: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/10594
The commit description contained "CLA: trivial" and so the "hold: cla required" label was not automatically applied to the PR. But the discussion in the PR suggested a CLA should be submitted. But it got merged anyway! Fortunately the CLA had already been processed - just not noted in the PR. So, in this case, it makes no difference. I think this points to a possible flaw in our workflow for dealing with trivial changes. Because the "CLA: trivial" header suppresses the "hold: cla required" label and the git hooks don't complain when commits get pushed with the "CLA: trivial" header and no CLA on file, it seems possible to me that we could push commit all the way through the process without the reviewers even realising that the author is claiming triviality on the commit. Not sure what the solution to that is. Matt
