Actually I think there is a lot of documentation and in itself it can be a bit
daunting. Also for the committer request, it would be great if it could be
streamlined by doing some kind of online form but there is the question of the
digital signature that might be an issue.
Thinking out loud here...what if we made a form that better explains
things and checks if the userid is available etc, and then it generates
a PDF to review/sign with all the fields filled out?
Also, some of the optional fields such as the Apache ID or the project name
should maybe be explained as less than optional. I’ve had the problem recently
that committers filled the ICLA without the optional fields, and then the
secretary asked for the ID and the project name. So this is putting additional
work on the secretary which could be avoided.
In other words, it’s not that hard when you know the process, but when you’re
learning it and want to do the right thing by not bothering mentors for
everything, I think it is less straightforward than setting up an account on
Github, which I think is what a lot of people are comparing the experience too
(at least that’s the feedback I get usually).

Mostly, I think folks find the process daunting. :-/...
I'm curious what's so hard, maybe we aren't explaining things properly?
IMO an initial or elected committer needs to choose an Apache ID,
register their iCLA, wait for their account to be created, sign up to
their project's dev (and maybe private) list and they're in business.
Ok, for now they also need to create accounts on Jira and Confluence
if the project uses that.
Is this what's considered too hard, or did I miss something?
