CLA is not an ID check. It is to handover the rights for the code over to the project owners rather than doing any identity check.

  agreed. but it does not mean i couldn't be. as per the terms, the content of a CLA could be anything. and that's my point

    That's stretching the traditional definition. Usually CLAs are solely focused on addressing the copyright conditions and intellectual property origin of the contributed changes. Maybe just "contributor agreement" or "contributor contract" would describe that.

    Then the question becomes "should we require ID for open source contributions?" and the answer is most likely no, not a good idea.
