I think that we should be attempting to roughly replicate the permissions for users of the rest of issues.apache.org. On jira, the introduction currently states:

   Anyone is free to find issues. You must register and login if you
   want to create, comment, vote, or watch issues. Only developers can
   edit, prioritize, schedule and resolve issues.

If we take developers to mean apache committers, strict adherence to that could result in a downgrade of some existing accounts but the restriction does not seem completely unreasonable.

That is a good idea. The question is what permissions should be granted?
They should probably at least have right to post comments and put issues in
review state.

Given the aim of removing technical barriers to contributions from apache
committers, I was wondering if we could also do something to lower the
barriers for committers to our issue tracker.

I am not yet sure what is currently technically possible between
Bloodhound and infrastructure, but it strikes me that it would be nice to
be able to either automatically allow committers to have access or to have
common authentication with the rest of issues.apache.org.

Obviously we would need to make sure that the existing non-apache
committers can continue to contribute and I suspect that we would also
continue to look after permissions.

Any thoughts?
