my 2 cents as an occasional contributor of minor patches: I understand that the scarce resource is reviewer time, so I would definitely accept to sign the CLA with my next contribution before a reviewer invests his time in it. However, please don't make the popup too pushy. I abhor websites which push people into entering legally binding agreements "with one click" without the opportunity to study them carefully (personnally, this would not be a problem as I already know what the CLA is about, but other contributors might not). Also, please keep the possibility to use the old paper-based signing procedure. I for one don't consider so-called "electronic signatures" based on email address verification (as opposed to real crypto) to be as good as a handwritten signature, and I don't want to legitimize them by using them.
