Contributions during incubation
I have a newbie question about incubation process.
Is there any guide for accepting patches from non-committers during incubation.
Do we need a CLA sign for each contributor?
I saw discussion in [1] but little bit confused.
[1] http://markmail.org/message/3gqadtky66yttfe6
The conclusion is CLA is not mandatory for accepting contributions but
better to take explicit ICLA before accepting a large/important contribution (?)
Thanks,
Makoto

Will collect a CLA for a non-trivial contribution and invite a contributor
who made such large contributions to the project as a committer.
Thanks,
Makoto

You wouldn't need a CLA unless perhaps the contribution is so
substantial as to contain non-trivial intellectual property.
Same for incubation as for a regular project.
The question you should always consider is whether your
contributor should be invited to become a committer.
If they're showing serious interest and contributing,
the answer is very likely Yes.
