Are these Apache CLAs or different ones? I would think, for example,
my Apache CLA would cover contributions once the code was at Apache
but wouldn't apply to any contributions to date. I don't remember
signing any other CLA-type thing.
Also I don't see James Strachan or Richard Monson-Haefel on the list
below - is that just an oversight?
