The ASF has published a new process for contributors to request Jira
accounts. We should update our documentation to direct contributors to
this new form and use it as part of the onboarding process.
What do you all think?

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] New self-serve portal for projects, committers, and
contributors

Hi folks,
During today's Infrastructure round-table session[1] we launched a new
infrastructure self-serve portal that replaces our old self-serve site.
The URL remains the same, https://selfserve.apache.org/ , and while the
self-serve offerings are largely the same as well, I do want to call out
the new "Request a Jira account" feature on there.
Prior to today, projects were tasked with managing new Jira accounts
themselves, including handling the initial request from users. The new
self-serve workflow for Jira accounts is aimed at making this a faster,
more streamlined experience for all projects, while also addressing data
privacy concerns and time constraints of projects. Any project using
Jira can now refer their users/contributors to
https://selfserve.apache.org/jira-account.html for new Jira account
requests, which will take care of all the needed paperwork for new
account requests and loop in projects for the final review and approval
of the accounts.
We hope this new feature will be well received. If there are any
questions, concerns, or other feedback regarding the new self-serve
portal, please do reach out to us at: [email protected]
With regards,
Daniel on behalf of ASF Infra.
