Are there any guidelines about the size of a code contribution that

You would just need a CLA not a software grant form for each
contributor.
That seems contradictory to what the IP clearance page says. Now I'm
totally confused because that would mean we don't need that complex
process of getting the software grant together for that contribution
we're planning to integrate in Apache FOP because we have ICLAs on
file
for all three contributors.
The reason is that the Software Grant is a legal vehicles that
says "I/We own this software and we are granting it to
the ASF". So unless there is a legal entity that owns
the code, they cannot grant it to the ASF to allow us to
relicense it.
In that case, each person who ever committed a line of
code needs to submit a iCLA which allows their patches
(and therefore, once everyone has one on file, the
complete codebase) to be relicensed under the AL.
