Christine Poerschke commented on LUCENE-8944:
---------------------------------------------
Here's some thoughts that occurred to me this week:
* "code" could be broadened out to "changes" to include code as well as
documentation and test contributions.
* "ASF" could be expanded to "Apache Software Foundation" or "Apache Software
Foundation (ASF)".
* Could we sign-post contributors to <somewhere> with further information that
may be helpful in a "I don't know if I'm authorized or not." scenario?
* How to provide helpful feedback for pull requests were the "I am authorized"
checklist item is unchecked? Is an unchecked checklist item different to a pull
request that does not have the checklist or the checklist item? If we accept
pull requests without the checklist item then is it perhaps not strictly
necessary to have the checklist item?
** I've looked around a little in the Apache documentation and at some other
Apache projects' pull request templates but found no obvious answer to this.
Perhaps a [Legal Discuss|https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LEGAL/issues]
issue could be opened but first wanted to ask on a project level here.
What do others think?
