Please note that I'm part of the Infra team, so can ensure the wheels are
greased. My available time for coding/projects is near zero, but am happy
to do chat/discuss and infra.

Note the instructions have been updated since you viewed/pasted that. Jira
project setup is selfserve nowadays.

How about a time-box on that? We can set up Jira on (say) June 1, if a
Bloodhound instance isn't up and running yet.

The buildbot config is located at:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/buildbot/aegis/buildmaster/master1/projects/bloodhound.conf
(that might not be available to the general public, but committers-only)

The short answer is: send a few patches; if it all looks good, then the
Bloodhound PMC votes you in as a committer; you sign an ICLA and get an @
apache.org account. Off to the races!

Please note that since about 1.5 years ago, the Foundation has an official,
supported Slack workspace at the-asf.slack.com. We have a Standard [NGO]
Plan, so all history is retained/searchable. That is nicer than IRC, if
people leave/return-to the channel. I've taken the liberty to create
#bloodhound there (since I'm on the-asf.s.c 24x7 for Infra work), and
invited Gary onto the channel.

Please note the above is a readonly mirror. Any PRs created against it will
imply the need to download a patch, and apply it to the svn repository.

See above :-)
