> From about 6 months of intimate experience with the Spark JIRA and the 
> reality of the JIRA / PR flow, I've observed some challenges, problems and 
> growing pains that have begun to encumber the project mechanics. In the 
> attached SparkProjectMechanicsChallenges.pdf document, I've collected these 
> observations and a few statistics that summarize much of what I've seen. From 
> side conversations with several of you, I think some of these will resonate. 
> (Read it first for this to make sense.)
> I'd like to improve just one aspect to start: the contribution process. A lot 
> of inbound contribution effort gets misdirected, and can burn a lot of cycles 
> for everyone, and that's a barrier to scaling up further and to general 
> happiness. I'd like to propose for discussion a change to the wiki pages, and 
> a change to some JIRA settings. 
> *Wiki*
> - Replace 
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Contributing+to+Spark with 
> proposed text (NewContributingToSpark.pdf)
> - Delete 
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Reviewing+and+Merging+Patches
>  as it is subsumed by the new text
> - Move the "IDE Setup" section to 
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Useful+Developer+Tools
> - Delete 
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Jira+Permissions+Scheme as 
> it's a  bit out of date and not all that useful
> *JIRA*
> Now: 
> Start by removing everyone from the 'Developer' role and add them to 
> 'Contributor'. Right now Developer has no permission that Contributor 
> doesn't. We may reuse Developer later for some level between Committer and 
> Contributor.
> Later, with Apache admin assistance:
> - Make Component and Affects Version required for new JIRAs
> - Set default priority to Minor and type to Question for new JIRAs. If 
> defaults aren't changed, by default it can't be that important
> - Only let Committers set Target Version and Fix Version
> - Only let Committers set Blocker Priority
