I think the implication of it is that you're acknowledging that you've 
already submitted a contribution agreement. However, things have been a 
bit lax and I understand there's more than one patch that has made it 
into the viewer - since the contribution agreements started - without 
any actual agreement on file.

Ideally, someone should cross-check all of the contributed patches 
against the agreements. Sounds like a good job for someone on the legal 
team.
