Re: [hibernate-dev] Contributions - changes "CLA" process
I agree. The whole signed-off thing just sounded
just-a-little-less-annoying than signing a CLA. And it misses covering
non-PR contributions - we (committer) could do the signed-off as we apply
the patch, but that defeats the whole intent.
So yes, I was glad that Richard saw this the same way.
BTW.. can't remember if I mentioned it, but I also worked on README.md[1]
and the ORM contributing website page[2]. For whatever reason the
README.md is rendering goofy now - if anyone has ideas why, would love to
hear how to fix it. It uses asciidoc(tor) syntax as part of a markdown
file so not sure how GitHub ever rendered that properly before.

I agree it would have been a barrier; the whole "signed-off"
discussion had me worried.. just checking that we indeed got explicit
directions of not needing to bother with it, that would make me happy.
Thanks Steve!
