Yes I agree.
I would like to offer an alternative opinion ;)
In my experience, JIRA puts up a big barrier to filing bugs - compared
to github issues, and even other channels such as email. I know *I* have
felt the pressure to *not* file a bug, and I have also heard the same
from others.
IMO, being able to report bugs easily is the most important thing.
Otherwise you might not get to know about the bugs at all.
It is easy to see both extremes on this scale....make it 'impossible' to
report bugs means no bugs at all - woo hoo!; yet, allowing vague reports
with lack of info means you can't even reproduce them, let alone track
how well they are being fixed/etc.
Yes, I understand that not being able to manage the bugs is also
important, and it occurs to me that it might be good to have a person
whose responsibility it is to capture bug reports, no matter where they
are reported, and manually import them into JIRA.
Anyway, I feel that there needs to be an easier way to file bugs than
JIRA, even if JIRA is actually the final 'one true' bug resposiitory.
IMO, bugzilla offerred a good 'middle ground', but it seems we're past
the point of deciding which tool to use.
Preparing to 'disagree and commit' ;)
Max.
