CONTRIBUTING references CLA, but this appears to have been replaced with DCO
The CONTRIBUTING guide references a need to sign the Contributor License Agreement and links to https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring. This link does not work as cla.pivotal.io does not have any DNS records. I believe this is because the Spring team have replaced the requirement to sign a Contributor License Agreement with a Developer Certificate of Origin and the DCO GitHub App appears to be enforcing this.
On this basis I think we need to make a small update to the CONTRIBUTING guide, for example:
For all non-trivial patches or pull requests we need every commit to include a "Signed-off-by trailer" confirming that you agree to the Developer Certificate of Origin. See the
gitdocumentation if you are unfamiliar with how to do this.
Are we happy that this is an accurate summary of the situation? If so I'm happy to put together a small PR.
