Every license statement I see on this list follows the provided
template, so regex matching that should be trivial. Matching the email
address to accounts in gerrit or bugzilla would probably work for some
large percentage of cases, but you could reasonably expect there to be
some cases where someone registered for a gerrit account with one email
address, and sent their license statement to the mailing list from
another one.
Personally, I would think the most efficient thing would be to just have
it be a checkbox on the account registration screen. Similar to the "I
agree to the terms and conditions" statement that everyone just
acknowledges without reading on any other website.

Would it be possible to script? Looping over messages in the mailing
list would not be hard to script, finding bugzilla tickets from a
corresponding email that the script has not modified yet would not be
hard, but it might be tricky to identify that a given message /is/ a
valid license statement.
If you could figure that out, though, having the bot/script update
tickets with a link to the assignee's license statement would make
this much less of an issue, in my opinion.

I noticed several times some patches on gerrit for which authors hadn't send
yet their license statement.
Of course when asking, the license statement is provided but to avoid to
miss it and risk some legal problem, thought it could be relevant to make
license statement as prerequisite for a gerrit account.
Maybe not a prerequisite for a gerrit account (contributors want that
quickly to push a change and you don't want their hard disk die before
;-), but a prerequisite for being able to merge a change. Often enough
when I spot a new name at a change I look up the dev statement and if
not found mention that during review, but I'm also guilty not thinking
of or asking only after merging.
