People who send me pull requests should have signed and sent in the
scala contributor agreement -- and assuming that's been done the door
would seem to face frontward.  Or you can always sign the paulp license,
which grants me an irrevocable right to do whatever I want with any code
you write for the rest of your life, and then I can relicense it under
the scala license.  Of course from that point forward you'll need my
explicit written permission to author code in any non-scala languages,
which I will consider on a case-by-case basis before rejecting them.

Not a chance... You shall never take away my (as yet unwritten) Intercal masterpieces!
