I can understand that. However, it does not explain the one that did
have a JIRA ID.

If the Hadoop community does not wish to monitor GitHub PRs, it should
have INFRA disable them. However, I think it would be better if the
community monitored the PRs (or the notification list that the PRs
report to)... because that's a really low bar for contributing small
changes, and it's a great way to get more developers active and
engaged.
