One final note for posterity and people interested in using PRs for the review process at least (which I guess is ok) is that the ASF GitHub Bot will actually ping the associated JIRA if you reference it from your PR, i.e.;
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2168 https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/33 I guess it would be nice if the Bot also commented on PRs pointing out to the `How to Contribute` link or simply saying that you need to create a JIRA and then you can reference it from your PR. -rgs On 8 June 2015 at 10:09, Raúl Gutiérrez Segalés <[email protected]> wrote: > On 8 June 2015 at 10:07, Patrick Hunt <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Keep in mind that filing the jira, attaching the patch file, etc... >> are all demonstrating intent of the author to contribute the changes >> under the apache license conditions.
