At mozilla we also require signing CA but do accept pull requests and there are whole team of legal people that makes sure things like that don't raise any legal concerns. After all it's just .patch to the pull request url gives you an actual change patch so if reviewing patches is desired it's easy to build a tool that attaches it to JIRA. We in fact do that for bugzilla. The good news is that such tools are already written for JIRA so it's just matter of enabling it!
