Roman, Requiring the contributor to log a JIRA makes a lot of sense, and a lot of projects do that. But from an IP hygiene standpoint, my understanding is that it is sufficient that the contributor has created a github pull request to a project under https://github.com/apache. Just like attaching a patch to an Apache JIRA, that demonstrates intent to contribute. Is my understanding correct?
