In most projects from my experiences, only committers, who earned the committerships based on their past contributions, are able to assign, resolve and close JIRA tickets. You now have a good chance to start contributions. ;-) See [1] for detail. When you find somethings to contribute from JIRA or the Help Wanted [2], I'd recommend you to start discussions in the developer mailing list as well as commenting in the JIRA tickets. Sometimes committers do not have enough time to read all the JIRA ticket comments, but the developer mailing list is the single source of truth all the time in our community. Let me give an example: - Suppose you find a JIRA ticket you can contribute for. - I'd post a message in the developer mailing list to express your interest to help with and a plan (e.g, PR provision), and possibly ask if anyone else is already working on (especially if the JIRA ticket was already assigned to a committer). Perhaps you can get responses from people in the mailing list in some days. - Once you get a response, you can submit a pull request and wait. It could take some time for committers to take a review. - If there's no response, you might want to post the message again. Sometimes the initial message was not clear to others, from my experience. Keep belief and patience. ;-) If anything is not going so well, let us know.
