                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7181
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Nishant Kelkar
            Priority: Minor


Hi All! 

I've just started to use Apache's Jira board (I registered today). I've used Jira for my work before, so I know how to navigate within Jira. But my main question, was understanding how issues are handled in the open source community (to which I want to contribute, but I'm a noob here too). So basically, a person comes up with a ticket when he/she thinks that the issue they are facing, is a bug/improvement. 

Questions:
1. Whom am I supposed to assign the ticket to? (myself?)
2. Who would be the QA assignee? 
3. If addressing the issue requires looking at the code, how am I supposed to change the code and bring into effect those changes? (At work, we maintain a Git repo on our private server. So everyone always has access to the latest code).
4. Where can I find a list of all the people who are active on this project (Hive)? It would be nice if I could tag people by their names in my ticket comments. 
5. Where can I find well formatted documentation about how to take issues from discovery to fixture on Apache Jira? 

I apologize in advance, if my questions are too simple.

Thanks, and any/all help is appreciated!
