We have the exact same problem in Apache Calcite. People get the impression that “contributor” is some kind of achievement within the Apache hierarchy - it’s not, it’s just a JIRA concept - and it creates friction for people who want to contribute. (After all, I think we want people to log a JIRA case before they start work on significant tasks, so that others can advise whether it is an appropriate direction to go in; and we want them to assign the case to themself to indicate that they are actively working on it.)
It would be great for Arrow if we can find a solution that reduces friction; and I think other projects might benefit too.
