A few notes I made that might prove helpful:
  - At the top of the CLA there's a whole spiel that is related to the 
old EchoSign process (you'll receive an email, must click the link, &c.) 
and no longer applies. To reduce confusion, it should be removed.
  - It wasn't clear to me that the contact details were required, and 
indeed accepting the CLA succeeded without them, but I couldn't push 
code until I added them. (Maybe chalk this up to my lack of reading 
comprehension, but there you have it.)
  - When I went to update my Contact Information in the Settings, it 
insisted that I set my *preferred* email to the one I used to join the 
foundation. Surely if any of the registered emails are in the foundation 
membership list then that should be sufficient? (Note to others having 
this problem: after adding contact details, you can change your 
preferred email back again provided that you leave the other contact 
details fields blank while doing so).

cheers,
Zane.
