As someone who cannot in good faith sign the CLA, that characterisation is far from accurate: I would very much like to contribute to the Python distribution, and so have not decided as you describe.
Rather, I leave the matter of contribution undecided, while advocating (when opportunity arises) against the CLA.
The decision that the current terms are unacceptable does not entail a decision not to contribute.
(aside: good sigmonster, have a treat.)
