HI!
In my opinion, it's hard to track open JIRAs now.
For example, if the JIRA is not assigned then there is no simple way to
understand if there's activity in there except opening it in web-browser
and
reading comments.
Only committers could modify the status of JIRAs and put them "In progress"
mode. As we have not so many committers they could not monitor large number
of open JIRA.
I'm not sure how your solution helps this. Can you explain?
One of possible solutions is implemented in Apache Geronimo project: there
is so called "JIRA contributor" role when the person could modify JIRAs
like
committers (close/reopen JIRA, modify it's status etc.) but could not
commit
the code to the repository.
This role seems intermediate between contributor and committer ones, some
kind of "committer kindergarten" :-).
I think that for better processing JIRA issues we could implement similar
role in Harmony (or invent something better).
What do you think?
I'm not a fan. I want to ensure that people show up here on the dev
list, interact with others, and simply *engage*. While I haven't looked
closely in the last week, my personal impression of things is that we
already have quite a bit of "conversation" on JIRA that never is visible
on the dev list, which isn't very good, IMO.
So I guess I'd probably need to understand better what this does for us,
and why it wouldn't have those negative community effects.
