Hi Carl,
There's definitely a need for something like this.
One suggestion off the top of my head - couldn't we have a Jira
username called something like "contributor" or "non-committer"
and use that for assignment, but put the real name of the patcher
in the comments for that Jira issue?
I would prefer to have a policy where we give non-commiters JIRA access
at a lower bar to
a committer vote. So they can update JIRA also, the about is basically
what is being done
today, as I see a few people are assigning JIRA's to themselves and
marking the JIRA
that X is working on it.

Subject: Our JIRA prolicy
We have quite a few people that are active and are providing us patches
that are not committers on the project. It would be nice to be able to
mark that they are working on something in JIRA. This begs the question
if we should allow non-committers broader jira access, and if so, what
is the criteria?
If we where to create a policy for non-committer JIRA access what should
it be - email participation? submitted patches? open for anyone who
asks?
I would say that we would want good a level of patch submission, and
email participation and not just provide it to anyone that asks if we
decided to take this route. I believe that the key thing is that we
discuss what we want to do and apply it consistently in the future. no
non-committer access JIRA, or JIRA access based on some policy.
