double-checked and submitted it again and also received email verification.

What is the requested user name? Did you add Kafka as project name?

Thank you so much Matthias, for your efforts in finding issues for me.
This
will really help me a lot. I raised a Jira access request 2 days ago,
but
did not get any response. Could you help please, if possible?

Hi Kafka community,
I'm a Java developer looking to make my first contribution to Apache
Kafka.
I want to learn about Kafka's architecture and internals through
hands-on
contribution.
I'm interested in working on Kafka Streams or Kafka Core components.
I'm
looking for a small bug fix or improvement that would help me
understand
how Kafka works internally.
I've reviewed the newbie-labeled issues in JIRA, but many already
have
associated PRs. Could anyone suggest a suitable first issue or point
me
to
code areas that need attention?
Thank you for your guidance!
