You can in fact do similar with contributing guidelines that are displayed once 
pull requests  is created:
https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines
And just reject pulls from people who did not signed CA

Yes I did signed CA and it's always possible to not merge pull requests from 
people who have not signed CA yet.

Maybe I was not clear here but legal people do not go through each pull request 
only signers
do merges people sending pull requests. I also have contributed to several 
other projects that
required signing CA before taking any of my pull requests, so I really don't 
see why it's a problem
for clojure.
