Hi, AFAIK the ASF jira instance security was tightened recently due to spam attempts.
As a result people might be unable to write to the SLING jira project unless they're added to that project's list of contributors in the SLING jira "roles" config. PMC members should be able to use https://issues.apache.org/jira/plugins/servlet/project-config/SLING/roles to do that, if not let us know your jira ID so we can fix that. -Bertrand
