Re: [incubation] CLA signing for a contributor with multiple email addresses

We do keep track of multiple email addresses on an account. We keep track of every email address you've ever associated with your Eclipse account. Primarily, though, this is so that we can connect you to the Git commits that you've made in the past.

However, all of our systems require that you use the single current email address associated with your account.

Creating a second account may be the best workaround. However, bear in mind that employment contracts tend include assignment of intellectual property to the organization, so it may not be legal/correct for an individual to sign the CLA twice with different terms (not that this is necessarily the case here).

Roger,

I once had two email accounts, my personal and work accounts, tied to my Eclipse account. It broke a lot of things and, for example, I still can't use Gerrit.

Typically I ask my contributors to submit CLAs for each email address they use.

Hello,

I've got a potential contributor who has an Eclipse account and has
signed the CLA. They have used their personal email address for their
account because it is for more than just contributing.

They now want to contribute some code and are doing this as part of
their work so need to contribute using their work email address, which
isn't registered with Eclipse nor has signed the CLA.

Is it possible to have multiple email addresses tied to a single
Eclipse account (it doesn't seem to be), or is the only option to
create an additional Eclipse account with their work email and sign
the CLA again? They do not want to invalidate the existing CLA.

Thanks,

Roger
