Yeah, that's actually troubling. The recommended procedure for merging git changes is to apply a patch. There is no recommendation on how to
attribute the original contributor.
The next section that talks about merging github into projects that use git also doesn't mention anything about CLA of the code being merged
either. But at least the attribution is maintained automatically.
It's OK if the "component" is in an ASF Git repo (https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/). In the 1st section I read "In a way, the Apache committer
acts here as a proxy for the contributor, and makes sure everything is good to include. (Consequently Git can have different authors and commiters of
a commit. If pulled in as git-patch or pull request the author is preserved)."
