Apologies for splitting the thread, but I don't see how to reply retrospectively.
(However, I have added myself to the mailing list going forward) # Confusion There has definitely been confusion on my end between contributors and committers, what is required of each of them, and what they have access to. I didn't request anything from Craig beyond "Please could you document my ICLA?" so mentioning of account requests through Whimsy was offered freely. There's also slight confusion, I believe, in the wording on the roles (https://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles), where CLAs are listed as a step for committers ("and has a signed Contributor License Agreement (CLA) on file"). # Request All I want is the ability to create pull requests and discuss issues in Jira, which it sounds like I'm set up to do, so thank you for your help! ________________________________ From: Joe Witt <joew...@apache.org> Sent: 23 January 2023 16:52 To: harry-cla...@outlook.com <harry-cla...@outlook.com> Subject: Fwd: Fw: ICLA Registration Please see this thread.

Thanks ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Joe Witt <joe.w...@gmail.com<mailto:joe.w...@gmail.com>> Date: Mon, Jan 23, 2023 at 9:51 AM Subject: Re: Fw: ICLA Registration To: <dev@nifi.apache.org<mailto:dev@nifi.apache.org>> Harry <i will forward this to your email so you see it> First please subscribe to this dev mailing list so that we do not have to moderate your posts and so that you will see the replies. You requested a JIRA account and that has been setup. This thread appears to be you submitting your ICLA to Apache and it appears to be received. It appears based on Craig's response (ASF Secretary) that your ICLA is received and that he thinks you are now looking for an Apache account/user/email perhaps. If that is the case can you please state that and your request overall - I dont see whatever came before Craig's response to you. I am not aware of us setting up any such account for someone prior to them becoming a committer so that would not be something we'd pursue at this point. We're of course happy you're planning to contribute and indeed that might lead to being offered committership down the road. This document [1] might have some helpful context for you as well.
