We could certainly do that system - but given the current somewhat small set of active committers its clearly not scaling very well. There are many developers in Spark like Hyukjin, Cody, and myself who care about specific areas and can verify if an issue is still present in mainline.
That being said if the general view is that only committers should resolve JIRAs I'm happy to back off and leave that to the current committers (or we could try ping them to close issues which I think are resolved instead of closing them myself but given how many pings I sometimes have to make to get an issue looked at I'm hesitant to suggest this system). I'll hold off on my JIRA review for a bit while we get this sorted :) On Sat, Oct 8, 2016 at 7:47 AM, Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think only committers should resolve JIRAs which were not created by > himself / herself. > > On Oct 8, 2016, at 6:53 AM, Hyukjin Kwon <gurwls...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am uncertain too.
