Eugene made a good point about why the summary should go first, and why
we should be consistent:

That's not a problem, and we can try to get everything useful in a single line for things like Mylar.

Personally, I find the URL useless, but I have no problem with it being
an optional addition for those that are tooled up.

If you actually look at the way Mylar works it pulls everything in from JIRA using URLs. Mylar can actually use the URL to pull up the issue in a view. I actually think it's pretty important for other tools especially for navigation to the source i.e. JIRA. Mylar doesn't know how to look at a POM to construct the URL with just the issue key. But both the Eclipse and IDEA plugins use the web interface to retrieve information so if you whipped up a change log a view could immediately be made for the issue. Mylar actually brings up a browser so you can make changes right there.

I don't think we should include the reporter in here. They are not
always the most relevant person to the issue (often, someone else did
most of the analysis or work/patch).

I think its essential we capture the person that submitted a patch fix
fore record keeping. And I'd like to keep using Submitted by: for that
so that one day we can pull those from the logs and update <contributors>.

I'm not sure I see that as important provided you have navigation back to the issue. Whether that be typing in the key or using the URL. If we're going to populate contributors elements it would probably make more sense to take them from the source in JIRA and not from second hand information. You probably want the users full information for a contributor element and JIRA has more information.

If we want something easy to type how about the key and summary. Then we can navigate back to JIRA to harvest anything we want and it's a single line. Maybe something we can use with future tooling in mind:

MNG-2010 implemented the maven mind reader to pre-write all user documentation requests

The url can be optional. I use it all the time and I know it would be useful in Mylar.
