The tool to check whether the CLA has been received fails with a 500 error.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add your GitHub name to your b.p.o. record.
2. Navigate to https://check-python-cla.herokuapp.com/
3. Enter your GitHub name and press the "Check" button
4. "500 Internal server error / Server got itself in trouble"

I agree with you. I've faced the same problem. The server sometimes fails with a 500 error and sometimes it works fine. I'm attaching a screenshot of the problem.

Apparently, it doesn't fail when you enter a name for which it can't find a b.p.o. account. So it knows how to say "beelzebub does not have bpo account" but fails when I put in "bkline" in the GitHub username field. It's tempting to suspect that the 500 error means "yes, I found a b.p.o account for that GitHub user but I just can't say so" but there's no guarantee that this would be a reliable assumption.

I believe that maybe the Heroku server, the CLA Checking tool is deployed to, is facing an internal server problem or the server is down.

Mariatta, do you know who to refer this to?

Thanks for the report. I've identified the problem and fixed it. It should be working now. Further issues with it can be filed at

Thanks.

Super, thanks!

Sorry, it's still failing with the same error message.

To reproduce, enter "bkline" in the GitHub username field and press Check.

I can, if you prefer, close this ticket and create a new one on GitHub (even though this is the same issue, not a different "further" issue).

Thanks Mariatta. It works now. I'm able to check if I've signed the CLA now. Thanks a lot.

And now it's working for me as well. Thanks, @Mariatta.
