Hm, a thought about GitHub Issues...

I also participate in the Chef community, and I saw this post on their mailing list: http://www.getchef.com/blog/2014/07/03/cook-project-moving-to-github-issues/

The relevant part:
One missing part of the GitHub work flow is CLA checking. Without some sort of automation in place, we would be forced to do manual checking of pull requests against a list of approved contributors. Instead, the Supermarket will run Currybot, which will automatically check PRs against a database of CLAs, and apply labels to PRs so we can tell at a glance if we can accept the contribution.

It sounds like this might be something that's helpful for us to look into as well?

This came up in the most recent dev chat meeting, and I believe D said she had investigated it or something very similar and determined it wouldn't work for us right now. We get new contributors infrequently enough that coping with it manually isn't a huge problem. Thanks for suggesting it though!
