Contribution agreements

[dkastl]

Think about if and how to manage contributor agreements: past present future:

• Does a small pull request require a contribution agreement?
• Ask Jody (OSGeo incubation) for some template

This looks like an interesting way without too much adminstrative overhead: http://nodejs.org/cla.html

@cvvergara I'm not sure exactly how to handle this at the moment in the easiest way.
The topic came up also on OSGeo mailing list. I want a solution, that doesn't require administration overhead. Not sure about the currently best approach.

If we are planning OSGeo incubation or something similar we probably need contributors "sign" a CLA in some way. I keep this open for now.

This is what I figured out:
