Summary assesment

How friendly is this project for beginner contributors?

Not very friendly. The project itself is quite complicated and it will take a long time for beginner to be onboarded to the development process, especially consider all issues are listed on a separate jira board which needs to be requested access to.

Do the maintainers respond helpfully to questions in issues?

I could not really tell as I do not have access to the jira board.

Are people friendly in the issues, discussion forum, and chat (for example, IRC or Slack)?

Again, I could not really tell as I do not have access to the jira board.

Do pull requests get reviewed?

Yes, but also some of them are only reviewed by a bot.

Do maintainers thank people for their contributions?

Not from what I observed.

Are there special skills required to contribute to the project? If so, what are they?

Java skills are preferred.

Are there any special hardware/software requirements to be able to contribute to the project? If so, what are they?

No.
