I agree in general, and due diligence is specifically warranted for the case
you cite here:
> often with software grants the license changes to ALv2 just before donation
So to narrow the conversation for this specific case:
The LICENSE file was added to the repo 2019-09-30 and all files in the repo had
AL2.0 license headers added on 2020-06-18. Only the "top two" had made
contributions at this point; the remaining 11 contributors submitted their
contribution to files which already carried the AL2 header at the time of their
submission.
Accordingly, as those 11 contributors did not explicitly state their
contribution was under a different license, I do not think CLAs are required,
no matter the size of their commits.

Hi,
While some of that conversation may apply here, and I don’t think there is
any issues, please note the conversation is in a slightly different context to
a software grant. When contributing to an ASF project it is clear under what
terms you are contributing. When contributing to a 3rd party repo it may not be
clear, and often with software grants the license changes to ALv2 just before
donation or a whole lot of other things can occur.
Kind Regards,
Justin
