"Legal risks to the project" is all-encompassing and vague. People may
not know how to start addressing the topic and might therefore not
attempt to request an exception.
I suggest replacing "legal risks to the project" with something more
concrete like "issues around license and copyright status required to
satisfy the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) requirements".
It's already a long sentence. Would "while still mitigating issues around
compliance with the DCO" be enough?
