I'm probably not trying to solve the problem you think I'm trying to
solve :-)

I'm trying to answer the question of: "does oVirt have a CLA" where DCO
is generally accepted as a form of CLA.

But oVirt isn't following what is commonly accepted as the DCO process
because maintainers aren't signing off on patches.

I'm making no assessments about the validity of the process that oVirt
is following.  I only brought up a CLA because the topic of OpenStack
was previously raised.
