Description

Our process to submit a contribution to Sqoop has quite a few steps:

1. Clone repo
2. Work on the fix/feature/...
3. Generate text patch
4. Upload it to review board
5. Don't forget to publish the review board
6. Upload the patch to JIRA
7. Switch the JIRA to "Patch available"

Forgetting to do any of those steps will lead to a quite unnecessary delays with accepting the patch so I would like to automate steps 3-7 with simple script that one can call from the computer and all that will happen "magically" automatically.
