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?

But how about the case where the project is on GitHub and contains a LICENSE.txt file on the top level? Then the contract is obvious by the license, right? Say the license is MIT, then they publish their code under MIT automatically?
The License file IS the contract. By contributing, you agree on the contents of LICENSE.txt legally.
