CLAs for GitHub phonegap/phonegap-plugins?
I'm curious if we use a CLA for contributions to the phonegap-plugins
repo. I realize that we currently have no "callback-plugins" analogue
of that GitHub repo, and I suppose that's on purpose. Should I be
asking this question somewhere else? In lieu of somewhere else, I
figured I'd ask here.
I'm in a position to merge the following pull request - beyond
technical issues with the request, I'm wondering about non-technical
issues with the request, like CLAs.

I suspect it will be a lot of work to deal with the existing
phonegap-plugins repository, given the wild west nature of it (a lot
of contributors, no CLAs in place, etc). So I think this answer is
"there is no plan to bring it into the ASF".
I could see us having an official Apache version of something like the
current phonegap-plugins repo, as a sort of an "incubator" for future
"official" plugins. With proper CLAs, committers, workflows, etc.
Something to think about ... later. :-)

I don't think so but maybe others can correct me. It's a mix of of code
from people ranging from CLA signees to random third parties.

Is this a repo that you plan to bring into the ASF or will it be
non-official contributed materials housed outside the ASF?

Agree it's not really a hot topic, I was just curious what the current
process was.
And it turns out someone else merged the pull request I referenced
above anyway :-)

Yeah, it was always considered the 'wild west' repo. Good candidates
for future APIs roll out of there but no plan to make a canonical
plugins repo -- in fact, in the future, I'd like to see an federated
system for discovery in the spirit of npmjs style registery (or cpan,
rubygems, pypi, deb, etc).
need to sort out package validation and then installation first.

We've never required folks to sign a CLA for the plugins repo. In some
cases I can definitely see where we might want this.
