I'm +1 on a meeting to discuss the backlog and would suggest, to be
considered, each JIRA should have a clear description. I think that 72
hours is good for final adds to an upcoming release.

I personally like the idea of having more visibility on which JIRAs are "up
next" to help me figure out where contributions would be most valuable.
