Colm is right here. We don't have a formal process, it' sup to this PMC to define what fits your need. If you prefer using a JIRA and vote it for each feature, it's up to you. If you think it's a bit too rigid, you can adapt. What is important is that every decision is made as a consensus, through the mailing list. At some point, you can also let one pick a feature, work on it, and close it. If anyone part of the project does not feel that the implementation is correct, or fits the project requirement,, then a discussion can follow. Ultimately, one can always veto a commit (quite a rare situation though). The 'Apache Way' just try to make things done smoothly through consensus building, that's the key point ! ANd consensus means every one is included, in a way or another. Hope it helps.
