See https://github.com/scala/scala-collection-compat/pull/273#issuecomment-561290746

lightbend.com provides a CLA checker that works with GitHub webhooks.

https://github.com/lightbend/lightbend.com/issues/2369 (private link) is about allowing Scala CLA checking using Lightbend's bot (currently it only supports the Lightbend CLA, should not be a big thing). After that (these are instructions for the Lightbend CLA)

you should simply need to add a webhook with payload https://www.lightbend.com/contribute/cla/_github-hook and content type as json. Then select individual events only - with PRs being the only thing needed Then add the user lightbend-cla-validator with write access I think it will work with typesafe-cla-validator, however I’d suggest going with the updated validator

relocating to sbt-scala-module since this is really common to all the modules

relocating to scala-dev since this isn't really even module-specific
