This was a spamming attack. The user was blocked and the corresponding tickets were deleted. (Cf. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-21268)
The "problem" is, that anybody can create an Jira account and create tickets. It's in the spirit of open source and the ASF to not lock down Jira, to make it easy for people to report issues. The drawback is, that stuff like this can happen. It's easy to write a bot to spam the Jira board... Because Jira is managed by the ASF infra-team, Kafka committers/PMC cannot block users and thus it takes a little longer to react to an issue like this, as we need to wait for the infra team to help out. -Matthias On 1/6/21 1:14 AM, M.
