Codebase transition from GH to ASF git repo

["Alex B." <bz...@apache.org>]

Hi,

as Roman mentioned recently,







*"The biggest next step is to do transition thecode base from GH to our
newly minted Git
repo:  https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-zeppelin.git
<https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-zeppelin.git>This will
require an SGA from whoever has therights to the
codebase:  https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt
<https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt>"*

Can anybody please help to clarify "whoever has the rights to the codebase".
Does this only mean a copyright that intrinsically always belongs to a
code/content authors?  Or something else?

Does it help if on contributing guide of initial Zeppelin there was a
notice like "by submitting a patch you agree on Apache2 license"?

So am I right, that we need to:
 - hunt down every non-CLA contributor in master branch (as only it will be
transferred to ASF repo)
 - make them sign and send us SGA
 - forward/save those somewhere (where?)
 - VOTE on IP clearance
 - only then we can actually "git push" to ASF repo

Is that all or am I missing something here?
