Don't automatically add CNCF as an employer based on LinkedIn

[craigbox]

A large number of LFX mentorship students add the CNCF to their LinkedIn profile. This means their contribution shows up in devstats as being related to the CNCF, which isn't really true.

Likewise, I joined the Governing Board recently and updated LinkedIn to reflect this. My affiliation was (automatically?) updated to CNCF in this commit, and hand-set dates were lost in favour of automatically added ones

Some possible suggestions:

(a) don't add a new affiliation based on LinkedIn if the old one has not ended (b) maintain a list of affiliations not to automatically add, and have the CNCF be on that (c) audit everyone listed as "CNCF" to only actually be paid CNCF staff (optional)

Hi, I have no opinion there and actually no idea if there is any action item for me or not. LMK if you want me to do something with this.

I offered some suggestions, but ultimately if you don't feel empowered to decide, who should I talk to next?

Maybe @caniszczyk has some suggestions? The simplest to implement will be either (b) (I can do this in my scripts) or (a) (can be done while searching for affiliations), (c) would be the most accurate IMHO but also needs external people to confirm their status.
