The hive project decided to use a dedicated mailing list for requiring a jira account.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HowToContribute#HowToContribute-JIRA And maybe we could enable github issues to let users ask questions and report bugs there first, if we decided it is a true problem that needs to be fixed, we could create a jira account for the user who reported the problem. I think if there are communications then it will be easier to let the users fill some sort of forms. Thanks.
