JIRA issues ask for action that results in a change to the project. I don't think this is quite right. If he puts it up on Github, then we have to go searching for it and it is not officially part of the project. JIRA is a perfectly fine place to explore ideas with real patches, which, at the end of the discussion may result in a "won't fix", but it shouldn't be decided up front just because it is still being thought through. Naturally, a discussion on dev@ might be warranted first if no code is involved, but by putting it in JIRA we have captured: the idea, the code, and the contributor's intent to donate it. Someone else or Lance may very well come along and improve on it such that it does become commit worthy. Iterating on ideas in JIRA should be encouraged and I think Lance let everyone know right up front that they can choose to ignore this for now if they are so inclined so as to not waste anyone's time. > > As you say this is not quite ready for commit.
