For these new fields, here are the relevant changes that I made to
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute
If your patch creates an incompatibility with the latest major
release, then you must set the Incompatible change flag on the
issue's Jira 'and' fill in the Release Note field with an explanation
of the impact of the incompatibility and the necessary steps users
must take.
If your patch implements a major feature or improvement, then you
must fill in the Release Note field on the issue's Jira with an
explanation of the feature that will be comprehensible by the end user.
Here are the relevant changes that I made to http://wiki.apache.org/
hadoop/CodeReviewChecklist
Once the review is complete (which means all suggestions from
previous reviews have been satisfactorily incorporated and you
believe the patch is ready to commit) then please set the Reviewed
flag on the issue's Jira.
Cheers,
Nige

Hi all,
For Hadoop core, I just added 3 new fields in jira. The first
are flags, for when a jira's patch has been +1'ed and the second
is for when it introduces an incompatible change. The other is the
release note field. If you have a new feature or incompatible
change, the patch developer should fill in the information for the
user with respect to the change.
Thanks,
Owen
PS. If HBase wants the fields too, let me know...
