I'd still like to make the distinction between "anyone who has an ICLA on file" and "someone who is interested enough in OpenJPA to ask for a change in JIRA status".

Until it becomes a burden on infrastructure (us) to recognize contributors, I don't see a need to change the process.

Doesn't look like it. The "jira-users" only means they have a JIRA account, but might not have an ICLA on file. The "all-developers" group contains everyone that is currently in a project developer group (current committers).... So adding the all-developers group would allow existing committers to contribute, but would still require manually adding any non-committers (sounds like a good compromise.)

Hi,
It seems like this should be automated. Isn't there a JIRA group for anyone
who has an ICLA on file? If so we should just add that group to our
contributors list.

Don,
Thanks for the explanation. I kind of like the Geronimo approach of being more lenient and open with contributors. And, Craig likes the idea as
well.  In that light, I have granted Contributor access to drwoods.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm working on new patches for OPENJPA-772 now. From years of pain on Geronimo, I now that keeping a well maintained project pom can go a long
way
in minimizing build surprises (like not using pinned maven plugins which
can
break builds when newer plugin versions are released) and making the
release
process less error prone (like using the ianal plugin during normal
builds
to catch missing legal files.)

As far as contributors, over on Geronimo, we'll add anyone to our
geronimo-contributors group who asks, as long as they have an ICLA on
file.
That allows new community members to assign existing unassigned JIRAs to themselves, so we don't end up with multiple people working the same
issue.
We also use it to control edit access to our Confluence user docs (other spaces like our main site can only be edited by committers), so that all
web
content we produce is covered by an ICLA.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your enthusiasm to work with and contribute to the OpenJPA project. Normally, we like to see some continued participation on our forums and JIRAs before just adding people to the Contributor list.
Maybe
that's different from the Geronimo project. Is there a specific JIRA
issue
that you are interested in working on?

Thanks,
Kevin

Can someone grant my Apache id=drwoods contributor rights in JIRA, so I
can
assign items to myself to work on and have more JIRA karma than just a
normal user?
