Thanks for sharing! Is it with a git pull request work flow though? Take
this — small albeit important —
pull request for instance:

https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/32

I think it would be nice to avoid asking casual contributors to file JIRAs
for those small patches so
the impedance for contributing is reduced.

Also, having the committer do the paperwork sounds like too much red tape
given that
the pull request is already pretty well documented. I at least would be
very happy
if we could just push those patches by referencing the PR in the comment,
instead of a JIRA.

I also suspect that eventually we might end up moving to git, so I think
there is value in allowing
pull requests as a submission mechanism (for some cases?), since it'll make
the eventual transition
smoother and with less unknowns.
