Fix CLA checks after domain change of CLA check server

[WojciechMazur]

https://www.lightbend.com/contribute/cla/scala/check/ now is a redirect to https://contribute.akka.io/contribute/cla/scala/check.
It's breaking CLA check becouse curl by default does not follow redirects

Maybe the scala cla should be under scala-lang.org

Maybe the scala cla should be under scala-lang.org

nobody would actually be opposed, but also it's not clear if it's worth the bother

if we adopt @Friendseeker's https://github.com/Friendseeker/scala-cla (and presumably Jerry would allow the repo to be transferred to the scala org) then there would only be one place that needs to be updated when something changes, instead of having the details duplicated in many repos

What steps should I do to facilitate the transfer to the scala org?

[SethTisue]

We would have to temporarily grant you permission to create repos in https://github.com/scala ; then you'd do the transfer yourself; and then we'd probably want to revoke the permission, for security.

Thanks for the explanation! I should be able to do the transfer anytime today. Just grant me the temp privilege & ping me.

[SethTisue]

@Friendseeker invite sent, to https://github.com/orgs/scala/teams/committers

I also temporarily checked this box:

at

https://github.com/organizations/scala/settings/member_privileges

which I'll need to to undo when you're done.

@SethTisue Done! https://github.com/scala/scala-cla. Also added some unit tests to ensure the CLA check work as expected.

Btw if anything doesn't look right (e.g. license), feel free to push a commit that changes it directly. I am unfamiliar with the legal stuff but I want to reaffirm that I hereby transfer the ownership of scala-cla to scala org.

@Friendseeker Is it okay if we rename the repository to scala/cla-verification-action ? Just in case one day scala-cli is transfered to scala, it will be easier to distinguish between the two of them.

That sounds fantastic! I also think that the name you are proposing is really self explanatory.

[SethTisue]

how about scala/cla-checker? that's what we've long called it, the "CLA checker"

Also sounds like a fantastic name! I am happy with either of the names.
