QuestionAnswer

1. What will be the process to give permissions to contributors on GitHub after they have filed their ICLA?

see https://ofbiz.apache.org/getting-involved.html

Anybody should be allowed to create issues (see point 3 below). Then comes SPAM and how to handle it. Here are 2 answers:
https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/reporting-abuse-or-spam
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/mark-as-spam

2. How do we control the permissions for committers and contributors on GitHub?

Same than point 1. It's open, like in GH you can also have SPAM in Jira once you have created an account...

3. What do we offer for contributors who are not able or willing to maintain their own repositories and follow the PR process?

It is relatively easy to clone the official repo, change and create a patch through git diff but it might be a hurdle for people to take all necessary steps for the PR process.

This was already answered with the point 3. We should ask Infra to offer the "Issues" feature (a top button) in our GH mirrors.

You can then report in GH as you would to in Jira. It mostly offers the same possibilities than Jira. I guess it's not a problem for Infra to open the feature, but that needs to be confirmed

4. When we publish a new release we update Jira versions to reflect the change. This information is useful to group Jira tickets by version. Is there a similar feature in GitHub?

Is the point 4 not answering this question? Also see related Jacopo's answer in my comment below (I'm Jacques Le Roux )

5. Has GitHub tools alike elaborated search in Jira, e.g. with filters? Can existing filters/views be migrated from Jira to GitHub?

Incidently, I made a seach in Jira yesterday. I was looking for "Canonical url". I could not find a result, but Markmail allowed me to find it:

Jira:

Jira
serverASF JIRA
jqlQueryproject = OFBIZ AND status in (Open, "In Progress", Reopened) AND text ~ "\"Canonical url\""
serverId5aa69414-a9e9-3523-82ec-879b028fb15b

Markmail:

https://ofbiz.markmail.org/search/?q=%22Canonical+url%22

So, though I very like Jira search because it can be right to the point, but it's not always accurate. I can then trust Markmail, which is easier to use than Pony when you are lazy. Because it searches on all MLs for all time and you can then filter by many ways. It's also still very fast.
