Hi everyone! As we had previous discussion thread [1], I propose migration to GitHub issue from Jira. It'd be technically possible (see [2] for details) and I think it'd be good for the project - not only for welcoming new developers who are not familiar with Jira, but also for improving the experiences of long-term committers/contributors by consolidating the conversation platform.
You can see a short summary of the discussion, some stats on current Jira issues, and a draft migration plan in [2]. Please review [2] if you haven't seen it and vote for this proposal. The vote will be open until 2022-06-06 16:00 UTC. [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why) Here is my +1 *IMPORTANT NOTE* I set a local protocol for this vote. There are 95 committers on this project [3] - the vote will be effective if it successfully gains more than 15% of voters (>= 15) from committers (including PMC members). This means, that although only PMC member votes are counted for the final result, the votes from all committers are important to make the vote result effective. If there are less than 15 votes at 2022-06-06 16:00 UTC, I will expand the term to 2022-06-13 16:00 UTC. If this fails to get sufficient voters after the expanded time limit, I'll cancel this vote regardless of the result. But why do I set such an extra bar? My fear is that if such things are decided by the opinions of a few members, the result shouldn't yield a good outcome for the future. It isn't my goal to just pass the vote [4].
