Hello, I would like to propose that issue reporting in ASF Jira for the Apache Arrow project be disabled, and all users directed to use GitHub issues for reporting going forward. GitHub issue reporting is now enabled [1] in response to a recent Infra policy change eliminating self-service user registration for ASF Jira accounts. The Apache Arrow project has already voted in support of migrating issue tracking from ASF Jira to GitHub issues [2], and migration work is ongoing [3].
Disabling ASF Jira issue reporting will move all such work to GitHub issues. I expect that usage of this new platform by all participants - not just new community members lacking ASF Jira accounts - will expedite further discovery and improvements to this platform. Furthermore, this will prevent new users from being routed to a new, and potentially "lesser", issue reporting experience. Please note that this proposal does NOT move work on existing ASF Jira issues to GitHub - that work should continue in Jira until issues are migrated and the Jira system set to read-only. There will be a separate discussion when that activity is ready. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. [ ] +1 Disable issue reporting on ASF Jira for the Apache Arrow project [ ] -1 Leave issue reporting enabled on ASF Jira for the Apache Arrow project because...
