One thing I like about using the Gerrit code review tool ( and GerritHub, for Github based projects ) is the ability add in a CA verification on a submitted patch, before pushing users just need to log in to the website and sign a webform before pushing, nice and clean and no fuss. Google based OSS projects on Github have a similar bot system, when you make a PR if you ( or more, the email address in the commits ) haven't signed a CA a comment is added, with instructions on how to use a webform to register, you then comment on the ticket with "I've signed it!" and the bot re-verifies, and all is golden. Very low barrier - my only issue with the Clojure CA was ( at least when I submitted ) that it had to be printed/faxed and sent off, and took ages to get approved. I have no idea what the process is these days?
