Github usernames can change, cla-bot should store and deal with Github user IDs as an immutable token that relates to a GitHub account, rather than using the username.

Consider the following situation:

  • @bpscott signs a CLA and gets their name added to a cla list
  • @bpscott makes some contributions and they get signed off
  • User @bpscott (Id 227292) changes his user name @bpscott-zzz.
  • The same user now fails CLA checks
  • A new account can sign up as @bpscott make contributions and they get signed off despite this user having never signed a CLA
