+====== Close related GitHub PRs
+
+As a project we work to ensure there's a JIRA associated with each change, but 
we don't mandate any particular tool be used for reviews. Due to implementation 
details of the ASF's integration between hosted git repositories and GitHub, 
the PMC has no ability to directly close PRs on our GitHub repo. In the event 
that a contributor makes a Pull Request on GitHub, either because the 
contributor finds that easier than attaching a patch to JIRA or because a 
reviewer prefers that UI for examining changes, it's important to make note of 
the PR in the commit that goes to the master branch so that PRs are kept up to 
date.
+
+To read more about the details of what kinds of commit messages will work with 
the GitHub "close via keyword in commit" mechanism see 
link:https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords/[the GitHub 
documentation for "Closing issues using keywords"]. In summary, you should 
include a line with the phrase "closes #XXX", where the XXX is the pull request 
id. The pull request id is usually given in the GitHub UI in grey at the end of 
the subject heading.
