Committer status on github aside, there are different levels of JIRA privileges, which is what Catherine was asking about. It seems like there aren't clear processes for who gets what JIRA privileges. For example there is a JIRA "group" named "hbase" that I am a member of, which allows me to assign tickets. But I don't have permission to add new people to this group.
