as collaborator, signing the CLA does not get tracked

[mark-kubacki]

I am a collaborator with https://github.com/mholt/caddy. I have signed the CLA for a PR, and then for the entire project and I still cannot push to master due to:

$ git push mholt master

# …
remote: error: Required status check "licence/cla" is expected
To git@github.com:mholt/caddy.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (protected branch hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:mholt/caddy.git'

I suspect that this is due to me being collaborator number 75 (due to paging?) and/or cla-assistant not having copied me to its database.

My expectation is that my git pushes don't get rejected by status check "licence/cla".

this issue seems not to be related to CLA assistant but to the GitHub feature "protected branches"
https://help.github.com/articles/about-protected-branches/
It looks for me like you have no push rights for master yet... could it be the reason?

CLA assistant only sets a status on commits of PRs. Even if we would set the status on commits of a given branch (e.g. like travis), you could only push to a protected branch once that commit was already pushed to another branch and the status has passed.

Thanks for looking into this!
