+1 (nb)

I like Github Issues more then the JIRA ones as esp. the formatting is
far much more comfortable than in JIRA.

I could also imagine that the project recieves more issues (I only hope
for useful ones, but well there might be more useless too), due the fact
that many people have an Github account and don't need to apply for a
ASF-Jira.

Things aside from that what is (in my opinion) an issue with the current
JIRA - but is not automatically resolved by moving anyway:

- What is the right place (plugin) to submit an issue, esp. in the core
functionalities the regular user does not see "behind" a more "visual"
plugin (e.g. surefire-plugin). Moving JIRA-Issues to another project is
quite simple, the Github Issue functionality is a little bit flexible as
far as my experience reaches.

- The content of issues: There are several issues (and PR) with almost
no content description what the issue is about. I've already posted this
on the ML some months ago. This point won't go away with moving to
another issue manger, but only by spending continious time on this kind
of documentation.

I'd like to start discussing opening (and eventually slowly switching) from
JIRA to GitHub issues.

JIRA is a bit of a pain to use, even though we have some automatic links
done with PRs and such. Accounts need to be authorized to maintain the
number of external accounts low enough within the ASF, whereas this would
only require a GitHub account.
Release notes can be published on GitHub very easily, so the only thing is
that we have the whole history and list of opened issues, but I just see
new issues being created on GitHub and handling both sources for some time,
gradually moving to GitHub issues only.

I also think we could benefit from GitHub discussions.  Those can be backed
by the mailing list very easily (just by configuration) and that would be
easier to link to issues, PRs and more integrated into GitHub, with
markdown support, etc....  See
https://github.com/apache/opendal/discussions/5211 for example.

Thoughts ?
