I think in practice we have done: code drops by long-established community
members certainly happen without fuss.
There could be a case for being a little more fussy with an incubating project,
reflecting the likelihood of a contributor being new to Apache and getting
entangled
with possible rights or claims of a third-party - such as an employer under a
"we own
everything you do" clause. Doesn't hurt to sign it over explicitly!
