In the "Contributing your work" section, there's mention of "granting license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works". Is there any formal process for doing so? Is there a contributor agreement of some kind?
There's a checkbox in Jira. Moreover, the license itself says that if you intentionally submit code to an Apache-licensed codebase then you implicitly license it under the Apache license, so that checkbox is mostly about permitting folks to post things that are not meant to be contributions. And, finally, yes, there's a formal process. Individual contributors and contributing institutions are encouraged to file a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for substantial contributions. Committers are required to have filed a CLA.

Also regarding licensing, am I correct to assume I should add the license header to all of the contributed files in the patch?
Yes. This is detailed at: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html Thanks! Doug
