I'd also add that whoever commits (or pushes, in the Git model) to the Apache repository (where all releases must be cut from) takes responsibility for what they commit, under the iCLA that they signed. So it's ultimately up to that committer to make sure they have the right to commit what they're committing, and that the provenance of every line of code can be clearly established. Backing a contribution with an https://issues.apache.org issue where the contributor clearly expresses their intention to donate the code to Apache Flex is helpful, and having an iCLA for that contributor helps put the burden on them for checking that it's their own code that they are contributing. -Bertrand
