-----------------------------------------

             Summary: JIRA tickets should be able to be assigned to Contributors and not just Committers
                 Key: LOG4J2-3285
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3285
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Request
            Reporter: Michael Vorburger


New issue to follow up re. this from LOG4J2-3284, this is not about code but tooling configuration and process for community management:

bq. I don't believe this Jira configuration allows us to assign tickets to folks who aren't committers.

This is strange. It's definitely possible to fix this at the ASF. FYI I often do this myself in another JIRA project at the ASF - the FINERACT one. Myself or other committers of Apache Fineract such as [~awasum] or [~petri.tuomola@gmail.com] ([~ptuomola]) traditionally "promote" anyone who has succssfully contributed a PR or two by adding them to a group in JIRA so that they can assign assign to themselves that they want to work on. 

May I suggest that this gets fixed for the Log4j JIRA project? I believe this is important for a healthy community and to encourage active contributors from folks who are not committers. Note that on GitHub issues this is the default. I volunteer to help fix this for LOG4J2, if you would like to make me a JIRA Admin for this project. [~ckozak] if you are not a JIRA Admin for LOG4J2 yourself, who is?
