contributor identity, JIRA, git email and github account email

[Thomas Weise <th...@datatorrent.com>]

Hi,

For better visibility and tracking of your contributions, please ensure the
following:


   - Ensure that your git user name and email are configured in your local
   settings:
   https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup#Your-Identity
   - When you move environments, please ensure that the name remains the
   same and please use your full name.
   - The email ID that you use above is in your github profile (for a
   company email address that would typically be an alternate address:
   https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-email-address-to-your-github-account/
   - Make sure you have one ASF JIRA account only (don't create multiple
   with different email addresses), user name without white spaces or other
   special characters and the name on the account matches the git user name
   from item one. These settings can be changed in the profile, I believe even
   the user name can be changed by JIRA admins. What we don't want to lose is
   the issue history that is linked to the account.
   - For committers it is also nice to have the same full name on your ASF
   account.

Thanks,
Thomas
