Hi Kyle, welcome to the lists. I'm not a committer but I'll give answering your questions a shot.
Yes, anybody can register and submit/comment on JIRA issues in the Metron project. I've seen small commits get merged in the past but aside from that I'm not sure. See https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/graphs/contributors The bylaws have some good information. It is also important to prefix any commits with the corresponding JIRA tracking information so they get linked together automatically. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Apache+Metron+Bylaws I hope that helps - if not, others should be able to provide more detail.
