Good question, some points in my opinion: 1. The current workflow is quite complex compared to github PR workflow. For ex, creating a JIRA while new contributors has no permission to assign it to self ? Github PR will help a lot. 2. Long PR merge cycle, the hadoop QA take a long time, reviewing, new patch, another hadoop QA still long time.. it's usually some days (>2 days, some even take few weeks) in a PR cycle, while not everyone has sufficient time work for the HBase community because they are working for a company. For new contributors, them need an quicker feedback from PMC or committers.
