Not that size should matter when it comes to legalistics, but it
appears the already mentioned KDE project, claiming that "the KDE
community is the second largest Free Software community" by most
measures, after the linux kernel, does not seem to have introduced a
CA requirement by now. (From quickly glancing over a bunch of links on
http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute and google, but maybe an active KDE
contributor could verify this)

Apart from them using different licenses than Clojure, which might
have different requirements, if my last post's (completely unfounded)
assumption is right, they would be more constrained in the future when
it comes to changing things related to their licenses.
