Subject: Patches from contributors: missing ASF license inclusion?

Hi,

In the S4 project we have some recent patches from non-committers, but =
we have doubts on how to integrate them.

In the past, the Jira system had a clearly defined way for the =
contributor to mark the patch as granted to the ASF.=20

Typically (wording from the hbase book): "The patch should be attached =
to the associated Jira ticket "More Actions -> Attach Files". Make sure =
you click the ASF license inclusion, otherwise the patch can't be =
considered for inclusion".


Unfortunately it seems that with the latest Jira updates, this option is =
not available anymore to contributors.


So, now, what is the proper way to ensure a patch can be included in the =
codebase of an Apache (incubator) project? Do we need contributors, even =
casual ones, to file an ICLA?=20


Thanks for any clarification!
