There are no Apache-wide guidelines on project-specific jira
permissions, this project can define its own rules and configure (via
INFRA issues if needed) whatever's appropriate. As long as that
doesn't put the jira instance at risk.

In general no, with the exception of a few foundation-wide labels like
"gsoc2015" which was used to collect proposals for this year's Google
Summer of Code.

If Groovy-specific labels are useful you might use a prefix like g. for them.

BTW it's fine for an Apache project to operate independently of others
for most things.

http://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html
tries to capture the elements that are common to all Apache projects,
but apart from that most things can be done as the projects wants them
to happen.
