Because by submitting a JIRA patch explicitly, you are taking the legal responsibility for the contents of the patch as being a change that you are authorized to submit under the CA...
I'm not sure that you can even attach a patch to a Clojure ticket in JIRA without being given permission to modify tickets (which means you have a CA on file)? As you say, at Mozilla, you have a whole team of legal people making sure things are safe and acceptable. Clojure/core does not have that luxury.
