Karl, first and foremost: thanks for being the first person to contribute.

   1. Yes, I just missed the makefile when I was cleaning things up. I'll 
   remove that and update contributing.md to document how to run tests. In the 
   meantime, you can checkout the travis config file. Mostly, you just need to 
   install nox-automation and run nox -s tests. Travis ran for your PR and it 
   passed 
   <https://travis-ci.org/GoogleCloudPlatform/webapp2/builds/122147953>.
   2. Enabling the CLA bot is standard procedure, and the OSS lawyer that 
   assisted me in moving over this project did not indicate that it should be 
   passed over. I am not lawyer, however, from what I understand t the CLA 
   does not remove any of your rights as a the author, it just grants the 
   project rights to your contribution (this seems to be pretty clearly stated 
   at the beginning of the CLA itself). If concerns over the CLA cause you to 
   not want to contribute further, I'll be happy to get you in contact our 
   open source programs office so that we can potentially address your 
   concerns.
