Funny enough i'm not really following what you mean with "said openly 
and with exact additional steps" ?

You want someone from eclipse.org to say "The Eclipse process might be 
perceived as heavy and not for everyone - but that is OK." ?

Okey but you said it is somehow missing on eclipse.org so i'm just 
wondering where you have been looking ?

Here is first hits I get when searching eclipse.org github:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/GitHub

searching on the wiki gives you details on how you hook up the CLA 
check: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Social_Coding/Hosting_a_Project_at_GitHub

and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources explains it too.

and finally the most central page on this is probably 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Social_Coding

What is the page/info you feel are missing in the above ?

I think the problem you are seeing is a perception problem and that 
eclipse.org actually have gone
a long way since many years ago. Yes, there is still a process, and yes 
it is heavy at times when you need
to check your dependencies are actually clean - but in day to day work 
it is really not different than
any other project.
