I'm used to signing CLA's that require nothing beyond a name and a check box. When I went to sign the PSF Contributor Agreement so I can submit a PR for CPython, I was surprised to see that it wants my address. Why does the Python Software Foundation need this, especially when nobody else does?

I don't think I've ever received anything from the PSF by postal mail, so if you don't want to give out your postal address, or simply don't have one, then you can probably submit a fake one.

(I've never given that advice of course, you've invented it all by yourself ;-))

Regards

Antoine.
