Committers: for non-trivial changes, it is best to get another committer to review your patches before commit. Use Submit Patch link like other contributors, and then wait for a "+1" from another committer before committing. Please also try to frequently review things in the patch queue.

Pull requests via github (work in progress)

We currently accept pull requests via github against the apache/zookeeper repository. Submitting to Apache ZooKeeper via github is no different than submitting any other pull request against a github repository. The developer needs to follow the contribution guidelines to produce changes, just like with patch files, and once it is ready, the developer produces a pull request from his/her own branch. The one constraints we have is that the title of the pull request must match the paring JIRA issue. If the JIRA issue is "ZOOKEEPER-222222: My lovely bug", then the pull request issue must also match "ZOOKEEPER-222222: My lovely bug".

We currently perform QA on pull requests, although the process is still being polished. We also have not completed the JIRA workflow when the developer submits a pull request, which means that the JIRA does not transition to Patch Available when a pull request is submitted. We are currently discussing on the list how to adapt our workflow.
