That all sounds very nice.

The problem is that if a user submits something that is going to be
committed, he must place it under the license of the project and/or assign
the copyright for the contribution to the project, even if the contribution
is trivial.

Within Python, large contributions require sending a contributor agreement
to the PSF, while smaller contributions are usually committed just mentioning
the author, who is implicitly assumed to have transferred copyright.
