Hi folks, The recent Infra policy change preventing people from signing themselves up for JIRA accounts in order to prevent spam [1] was originally scheduled for 6th November, and though it was slightly delayed, it appears now to be in force.
There is ongoing work to do a migration from JIRA to GitHub Issues[2], but this may take a few weeks or move. What should we do in the interim? Should we ask new participants to use GitHub issues for their issue reports, or provide some path for new users to contact the PMC (via the user mailing list or zulip?) to open an account? I propose we go with the former and move straight to GitHub Issues even if we're not fully there yet with the migration - this may be the simplest option in terms of reducing the number of times we ask people to change what they're doing, even if the GitHub Issues usage will change significantly in that time. Whatever we choose, I suppose we should also announce this to users somewhere - Steph Hazlitt has started this doc [3] listing possible places to mention this. Thanks, Nic [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/l545m95xmf3w47oxwqxvg811or7b93tb [2] https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14542 [3] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UaSJs-oyuq8QvlUPoQ9GeiwP19LK5ZzF_5-HLfHDCIg/edit?usp=sharing
