Adding JIRA contributors
I can't seem to add new contributors to JIRA. Going to the admin page and
editing the members of the contributors role, JIRA just displays the
message "The JIRA server could not be contacted". This shows up for
type-ahead or just trying to paste in the username.
Is anyone else able to make this work?

Infra has mentioned in response to inquiries on infrastructure@ that they're looking at an LDAP based solution. I don't have a pointer to a JIRA discussion.

Thanks for the tip. I had tried the copy/paste but was still getting
tricked by the error message. Clicking through that and going to "Update"
worked.
I'm guessing that for the contributor list and user info JIRA is using it's
own user db. It seems kind of like wasted effort to have each project
duplicating the management of "non-spammer" validation by adding to a
contributor group. I'm wondering if that could be handled through a shared
group across all projects instead. Or alternately of course doing the spam
filtering a different way.
Anyone have a pointer to a JIRA where the long term spam solution is being
discussed?

Yes. If you paste in the full JIRA username you'll get the "can't contact
server" message, but it will just be from the autocomplete. If you close it
and submit anyways, the user will be added.
Using the rest API to add folks also works, but it's obviously more
overhead.

I have been doing the above.
Adding the user's JIRA name seems to work though JIRA says it does not
(trick from Busbey).

This is a known problem.
We solved this before by adding the 'jira-users' group to the Contributor role. However I had to recently remove it because it allows the spammers attacking Apache's JIRA to open issues with any new user they've signed up for the purpose.
Infrastructure is working on a long term solution for the problem we are having with spam attack on our JIRA instance. I don't have an ETA.
One thing we can try is removing folks from the current Contributors list who haven't been active for a while to make room for new entries.
