Description
A Github pull request for the RDF4J project currently has a failed IP validation check that I think is incorrect.
The PR in question: https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/pull/198
The PR contains a commit by a non-member, but he does have signed CLA and the initial merge of his contribution to the source branch went without problems (see https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/pull/190).
The error message is as follows:
"The following users do not have valid CLA. Please see this page for details,
or to sign a CLA.
noreply@github.com "
and is lodged against the merge-commit that happend when I accepted the non-member's PR (see https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/pull/198/commits ).
Now this is odd as the actual author of that merge-commit according to Github (as well as my own git client) is me, not 'noreply@github.com'.
