Hi Catherine, The term "committer" is somewhat special in the Apache context. It means, someone who has been recognized by the PMC for their contributions to the project and its community and has been granted permissions that include write access to our git repos along with other privileges within the foundation. You can read more about the path to becoming a committer on this page [0].
However, I see that your Jira user account does not have the "contributor" role within the HBase project. I have made that adjustment and so you should now be able to self-assign Jira issues. Do let us know if you encounter further roadblocks as you onboard. Thanks, Nick [0]: https://community.apache.org/contributors/ On Thu, Jun 11, 2026 at 9:37 PM Catherine Turner via dev < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi!
