I just encountered something similar in OODT-ville, and the answer I got back from INFRA was that they were going to phase out the current way that JIRA is administered and move towards ³roles² rather than ³groups² in JIRA. See here [1] for an explanation.
I think we can add people to the developers role and we should be good. We are reusing the same LUCY issue tracker created in Lucene space, correct? If so, it looks like Marvin [2] is the project admin, so you should have karma to do this...
