Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1520:
----------------------------------
Hey [~evvers],
The intention of the review tool was to help regular commits easily deal with
the Apache tools which arent themselves integrated (JIRA, RB, etc). If you just
want to jump in and contribute a patch you should not need to do that. Do we
have instructions somewhere that seem to imply you need the review tools all
set up to send us a patch? If so we should probably revise them...

> Hi!
> It' s too hard to contribute.
> I spend two days for configuring jira, reviewboard and jenkins.
> Manual installation of jira-python and RBTools with these
> [instructions|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Patch+submission+and+review]
> was awful.
> I create [package|https://pypi.python.org/pypi/kafka-dev-tools/] with
> kafka-patch-review script. Now all dependencies installs automatically and
> script installs to required place.
> Is there any tools for automating developers tasks? I can add it to package.
