As mentioned, the ideal approach would be to create a patch directly from this information and attach that to JIRA. That is perfectly fine and practiced a lot by several Open Source communities. Until we find something along the lines of Eclipse Babel where people can directly upload their user agent (simply by visiting the site or similar to the current samples but with upload functionality) JIRA is the best way to address this. And yes, it should be transparent and open, that is among the reasons why DeviceMap graduated;-)
