Thanks, Peter. The main means of interaction at Apache are email and JIRAs. These can then lead to commits (including website updates). I think it's less about the medium of communication and more about the defining the right processes, coordination, workflow, and automation that would need to be put in place; It'd be like figuring out how to setup and run a test lab: determining the right structure (does Pherf provide enough and if not, where are the gaps and what are the alternatives), getting representative use cases with queries and validating that they work, setting up and monitoring the jobs that run them; having some self service mechanism to tweak them, etc. Often the queries and data sizes would be considered proprietary so users would not be able to provide them.
