> However, in the Musescore case these additional fields are not optional. Given that both Musescore and Audacity are now controlled by the same organisation, one suspects that the Audacity CLA may be made consistent with Musescore's CLA at some point in the future (although I hope that it goes the other way, with Musescore making the mailing address and phone number fields optional).

One would hope that someone would point out the GDPR places an obligation to collect the MINIMUM amount of data needed, and keep it for the SHORTEST possible time.

Given that, most CLA's really require only name, email, and public PGP key. Although I suspect they may want address and phone number for legal reasons (as in assorted laws say they need it), rather than they actually want it.

Most legal documents require this so you can be tracked down at a later date if necessary ...

Cheers,
Wol
