I think the important distinction that I missed was that I thought you
were only referring to the reference documentation in the separate files
(e.g. Release Guide), where there are well defined lists of the
contributors. For the wiki, that task is far too major and we would
definitely want to leverage the CLA to relicense that content.
There is still a problem, though. Most, if not all, of our guides start
on the wiki. I know a lot of information that went into the Security
Guide came from the wiki and thus from various developers.
