You can now use plain GitHub PRs.


Yes and no. You can't agree to the CLA with just GitHub, IIRC.


Can you not register a Google account with false data just for that purpose


Please don't do this. All code has to have a CLA signed legitimately. Many many projects do this, and all Google projects do. You're basically going to poison the project you are trying to improve.

Disclaimer: Used to work in Google's Open Source office, which administers the CLA.


Sorry, I didn't intend that you'd use false data filling the CLA. Didn't realise you relied upon the Google Account data in the CLA. If that's the case then yes, don't do that.


Ah, yeah, my bad.
