I have doubts anyone could be so incredibly stupid as to raise an issue in the INFRA JIRA as a joke. Note that requests are made to the ASF infrastructure team by creating issues in this project, such as provisioning and maintenance. Obviously @jimjag is taking a dim view of the request, but that's for different reasons; the (perceived) lack of transparency by the PMC when making this decision. However I think getting the infrastructure team to migrate a repository just for the LOLz would be seen even less favourably.
April fools?
