You can merge it.
The principle is that any contribution needs to be clearly given by the
original owner. Someone making sending a Pull Request is taking a step that
clearly says "This is for the project" and so the Apache contribution is clear.
We ask for additional paperwork when the contribution is large, and if they
come by a different route to JIRA, or a PR to the project, we'll have to think
about it.
A PR like this can be dealt with as being clearly intended as being a
contribution.
