Thanks Andrew. Definitely will do that. Thinking through the perspective of a newcomer is where that thread about trace-ability between a Jira issue and code commits came in as well. Not only is that helpful for committers/pmc folks but also for new contributors who can better follow the lifecycle of a ticket to code, to review/commentary, and so on.
Do you have a good example page that talks about the contribution/newcomer onboarding for your projects? I've seen the accumulo, kafka ones thus far. Will look around some more as well.
