I've posted in Discourse under core-workflow category <https://discuss.python.org/t/using-cla-assistant-for-python/990>, and this has been previously discussed on the core-workflow mailing list <https://mail.python.org/archives/list/core-workflow@python.org/thread/JBV3XJVD2DLDX5DY7TZEA6CO5YPNHJ2C/>, but I feel this affects the wider contributors to Python, so wanted to share it here for more visibility.
TL;DR:
We'd like to start using CLA assistant for contributions to Python (including CPython, devguide, PEPs, all the bots etc). Ernest had set up our own instance of CLA assistant, and it had been tested by several core developers. We've also consulted The PSF and Van Lindberg for legal advice.
Unless I hear strong opposition (with reasons) from Python Steering Council, Python core developers, and active core contributors, I plan to switch us over to to CLA assistant in the coming week (before my OOOS of March 18)
How this will affect all contributors to Python old and new:
you will need to sign the CLA again, even if you've signed it before (in bpo). It will take you several clicks, but then you'll do this only once, and it takes effect immediately. (instead of waiting for a PSF staff to check for it)
bpo username will no longer be required when signing the CLA
CLA will be accepted under Apache v2 only (no more Academic Free license)
For even more details, please follow the discourse post and the core-workflow mailing list linked above, as well as the "CLA" section of my blog post about Core Python sprint 2018 <https://mariatta.ca/core-sprint-2018-part-2.html#core-sprint-2018-part-2>.
