Why would I ever need to sign such s thing? If I contribute to an open source project, isn’t it obvious that I agree to publish my code under whichever license the project is published under?

    It’s not, because it’s also not always obvious which user is which person or that the user testifies that they are the creators of the code and willingly giving it to the project. It’s easy for a number of things to go wrong in all of that so it just helps keep the lawyers at bay.
