You’ll note [1] says "All contributors of ideas, code, or documentation to

without signing an ICLA and as the code is under an Apache license the intent
would be clear here.
That seems to be in conflict to the license itself [2] which states:

The author of the license clarified this in [3]:

with Apache's legal team for a long ago discussion with Incubator.
We don't need a CLA on file to accept contributions from non-committers.
We just need a clear intent by the author to contribute under
our normal terms.

on file even if the contribution is massive -- CLAs are only
required for the people who want an account at Apache and thus
are allowed to make the decision to push those bits into our
repository.
