The contributor agreement grants to PSF the unilateral power to redistribute the contribution under “any other open source license approved by [the PSF]”, a power not granted to other recipients of the contribution.
"The gentleman turns out to lack a full understanding of the issues." It is *not* the CA that grants that power; it is the license (AFL or Apache). Anybody receiving a distribution under those licenses can change the license terms. If you don't like that, don't grant those licenses. Not to the PSF, and not to anybody else. The CA is moot. Under the current Python license, the same power of redistribution is granted to Python's downstream, so there's nothing special about the power mentioned in the CA itself. 'Nuff said.
