Jacek,
This use seems completely appropriate to me..... Bill is supplying a
patch against some code that he cant commit against himself. Where
else could he put the patch? Among other advantages, using jira
gives him the opportunity to explicitly authorize apache (or the
geronimo committers) to apply the patch... if he used the mailing
list it would not be so clear IMO.
Whenever I think about our tools we can use to help in development
process I try to see their final results. In this case - would it ever
become part of RELEASE NOTES that's generated from JIRA? It would not
if gcache never did its way to the trunk, would it? I think JIRA is
not meant for sandbox'ed code. JIRA messages may mislead easily that
gcache is already on trunk. On the other hand, it bothers me that we
can't provide anything better to help non-committers contribute to it.
I'm not convinced with JIRA and gcache playing together, but don't
have anything better to advocate. Eh, I'll have to get used to it.
