I believe that by uploading the patch to JIRA, the contributor is explicitly granting ASF the right to use the patch. We used to have an explicit grant button on JIRA, but it got removed as granting the license is now "implied" by simply attaching the patch to JIRA. I don't think that the same applies on review board and hence I would guess that the patch needs to be attached to JIRA. I would love to hear others thoughts!
