I think, that Gilles is right in pointing out, that the current policy (accept patches only with explicit, or implicit, acceptance of contribution under the ASL) clashes somehow with Github PR's in that it is difficult to assume implicit acceptance in that cases.
However, I don't think that this question is in any way restricted to Commons. So, I don't think, that our dev list is the proper place to have this discussion. Besides, I'd assume that the question has been discussed in advance before Gitbox has been established. My recommendation would be to create a Jira issue for INFRA, or LEGAL, where we point out the question, and request clarification.
