Barriers to ActiveMQ 6 contributions

[Bruce Snyder <br...@gmail.com>]

After some unexpected turns in my life over the last couple of years, I am
digging in to the ActiveMQ 6 code base as I'd like to begin contributing
again. But I quickly ran into some barriers for anyone interested in
contributing that I'm going to start fixing. Below is a list of things I've
run into so far:

* IRC -- I'm a big fan of IRC for collaboration. But but since the Codehaus
has shut down, the IRC URL on the ActiveMQ website is now out of date. I
did find that there is an ActiveMQ channel over on Freenode, is this where
folks are lurking now?

* Repo -- As I hunted around for the ActiveMQ 6 repo URL, I had a difficult
time locating it from the ActiveMQ website. All I could find was the URL to
the ActiveMQ 5 code base (http://activemq.apache.org/source.html). Being
that Github pull requests are showing up on dev@activemq list, I was able
to locate the Github repo. This information should be fixed up on the
ActiveMQ website. Is everyone following the git config in the ActiveMQ
README.md file (to configure the ASF git as an upstream remote)?

* JIRA -- The source tab is not appearing in any of the JIRA Issues for
ActiveMQ 6. This is a problem because commits are not tied to a JIRA issue
(and this further delayed me in locating the source repo). It seems that I
no longer have JIRA admin privileges to attempt to fix this on my own, how
do I interact with ASF Infra to request JIRA admin privileges these days?

If folks can help to answer these questions for me, I can begin to help fix
these items and move forward.

There is an activemq-6 repo.  I don't have the url now as I'm on the iPhone.
