The process for the community is a community decision. There is no requirement on the Apache side. I think the right balance will vary on project. I agree with Alan's assessment.

ok thanks. This makes sense.
Some of us were (I know I was) under the impression
we needed to tag a jira issue with every commit - no matter how big or
small the changes. This makes it easier for the small typo changes.

Thanks,
Aaron

That strikes me as a bit of an overkill.  For example, if you see a
variable that can be named a little better or if there's a spelling
error then I don't see the need to file a Jira at all.

In my opinion Jira is, in addition to a tracking mechanism for
what's going into which release, a communication mechanism for
developers to announce what they feel needs to be done and who
intends to work on it; it's kinda a macroscopic thing.  It is also a
mechanism for the community to officially make its wishes known as
well as the usual bug reporting thing.

Mentors?  Thoughts?

Totally agree.
