Apache Lucy has a single bug tracker. There may be lots of other downstream "places" where people file bugs, submit patches, or otherwise gripe about Lucy, and it would certianly be a good idea for the Lucy community to monitor those "places" and act as they see fit (and open jira issues when they see fit), but the ASF Jira server is the system of record for bugs/features. just as ASF SVN server is the system of record for software changes. To put it in perspective: what would you do if you became aware of a URL on perlmonks, or stackoverflow, or a personal blog where someone posted about a problem with Lucy and then someone else replied with a patch against Lucy that fixed that bug? ... treat downstream bug trackers exactly the same as any other downstream discussion/forum. -Hoss
