Closes #1077


Changes

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactoring
  • Documentation
  • Test
  • CI/CD pipeline
  • Other

Why

Mahout has transitioned from JIRA to GitHub Issues for issue tracking. However, the “How to Contribute” documentation still referenced JIRA and outdated issue tracker links.

This does not reflect the current contribution workflow and may confuse new contributors. Updating these references ensures the documentation is accurate and aligned with the project's current practices.


How

  • Replaced references to JIRA with GitHub Issues.
  • Updated issue tracker links to: https://github.com/apache/mahout/issues
  • Updated example pull request title format from MAHOUT-xxxx to #xxxx.
  • Applied updates across:
    • docs/about/how-to-contribute.md
    • website/versioned_docs/version-0.4/about/how-to-contribute.md
    • website/versioned_docs/version-0.5/about/how-to-contribute.md

Checklist

  • Added or updated unit tests for all changes
  • Added or updated documentation for all changes

- Include the corresponding JIRA Issue number and description in the title of the pull request:
- ie. MAHOUT-xxxx: < JIRA-Issue-Description >
- Include the corresponding GitHub Issue number and description in the title of the pull request:
- ie. #xxxx: < Issue-Description >

Hi @ryankert01,

I have applied the pre-commit fixes and pushed the updates.
It looks like the workflows are currently awaiting approval.

Please let me know if any further changes are needed from my side.
