Maybe we should loosen the permissions on Avro's Jira so that any user can assign an issue? That would make things a bit simpler. I doubt we'd see much if any abuse. Also, it's probably time to remove CHANGES.txt and just use Jira to generate release notes. Agreed? Doug On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 a

Might we instead switch from Jira to GitHub for contribution tracking? Then we might not need to worry so much about who the Jira issue is assigned to. GitHub has contribution history: https://github.com/apache/avro/graphs/contributors Is this sufficient? It seems like it's missing a lot of old

Re: Giving credit for contributions through Github Pull Requests

how about we create a PMC-controlled jira account to represent "pull request from someone without a jira ID"? then we can follow your suggestion of "encourage the contributor to create a jira id and assign to them" and we have a clear way to mark "you need to look at git or github to find the autho
