Mandatory contributor agreements like CLA and DCO sound good in theory, but honestly? They're doing the opposite of what projects need. When devs face unnecessary bureaucratic hoops just to submit code, they don't stick around—they move on to projects that respect their time. If you're serious about building an open community, those compliance bots aren't the move.

ngl, what you said is so true. CLA really discourages people, and developers are not contract-bound animals.

Really, CLA's approach is just the art of pushing people away; developers have nowhere else to go.

ngl Those mandatory protocols are just pushing people away; there's really no need for them.

Haha, that CLA stuff really is a deterrent. I've seen too many developers just run away directly.

You're absolutely right. The CLA approach is really an effective way to push people away. I've seen many open-source projects lose a bunch of contributors because of this, and as a result, they become even more closed off.

Nah Cla, this set is really annoying. Developers aren't fools, and with more trouble, they'll naturally leave.
