How should we use Github issues if we do that? Currently it's supposed that 
issues are created before the PR.

requests

You should create the JIRA before you start work (long before the PR) so
that people know what's being worked on and don't overlap.  Ideally,
anything people work on should have been in JIRA for some time before work
starts so that there is some sort of holistic view of the direction of the
project rather than the way it is now, where PR's just appear out of
nowhere.
