Hello,
I don't know if everyone here is already aware, but the Apache Software Foundation has decided that user registration on JIRA will very soon be moderated in order to fight against issue/comment spam. Concretely, user creation requests will soon have to be approved by a project's PMC instead of going through the current automated process. The announcement was done by the ASF on the announce@infra mailing-list (and forwarded to the PMCs of the various Apache projects), which unfortunately I couldn't find a public record of. I don't know if the Parquet project will want to take any steps following this announcement, but I would like to mention that the Arrow project (which has ties to Parquet through the C++ implementation of Parquet which is hosted inside the Arrow repository) has voted to migrate its issues to Github: https://lists.apache.org/thread/nkzbg0481k0dt0l2wq9b2k60kpg5hk62 Regards Antoine.
