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.
