Fwd: [jira] [Apache Infrastructure] New Podling Parent Request - PonyMail PPMC

All,

I'll leave this up to the podling to decide how to proceed.  Looking at the
project proposal, I'm just covering remaining requested resources.  If
they're not needed, that's fine.

I do see a few issues though.  Currently, ponymail is the only ASF project
that leverages github issues.  The permissions around this seem odd to say
the least.  For example, I can comment on tickets, but I cannot do things
like assign.

I asked infra recently on behalf of another incoming podling and the answer
I received was "no".  I suspect that ponymail bypassed this because of a)
tight ties between the devs & infra resources and b) the way the project
was imported [looks like it was moved between orgs and not created
externally and pushed].

Ponymail using github issues also sets the precedence that it's OK to do.
I don't believe ASF is currently in a situation to grant this more widely.

Let me know.

John

Everything but Confluence/JIRA is already set up.
I'm unsure whether the project needs it, but in case it does, we (infra)
would need some preferred instance names for this.

Then how do we ensure that there are proper permissions to work with the
issues? In JIRA this is a PMC driven effort, PMC members are in groups that
allow them to do crud operations for other PMC members, committers, and
outside contributors.  Is there a ponymail group in the ASF's github
account that has access to maintain these permissions?

VP Legal has said that GH Issues are fine to use (he was asked on behalf 
of another project at ApacheCon) as long as the replication to mailing 
lists works.

With regards,
