This is pretty much the answer. GitHub identity <> Corporate identity. Jeff's portal helps join those two, so that permissions & legal can be handled automatically. If you ever contributed to a Microsoft Org owned repo, you'll get a bot asking you to sign the CLA and tagging your PRs DNM until you do. When I leave Microsoft, if I make any PRs later on (I'll probably end up using a few of these projects later on), they'll have removed me from Org and listed me as a non-MSFT, so I'd have to sign the CLA. This portal is really nice compared to the previous system, which was send an email to someone and wait for them to get to it. :)
