For example, the following projects REQUIRE contributor agreements, in

- Free Software Foundation
- Apache, and everything under it
- Python
- Perl
- Django
- MySQL
- Node.js
- Fedora Linux
- Neo4j
- Sun (now Oracle)
I'm sorry, I'm going to call foul on this. I've contributed to Python
without ever signing a CA. And the current developers guide page
doesn't have anything on it about needing to sign a CA.

Unfortunately, it's not listed under the developer's guide but it is a requirement for contributions now:

http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/

Not sure how long ago it was introduced, but I had to sign one recently to get a patch included in Python 3.2. How strictly the PSF enforces it is another matter...

Not sure why a physical copy needs to be sent (for Clojure), rather than a scan - this is the 21st Century after all!
