Do we really want to encourage people to file issues?! My take on the current situation is, that there is no one really working on fixing issues, apart from the issues relevant to them (which is OK!). While I like the form, I don't see an improvement relative to JIRA. As long as people can file issues and then go away, we will end up with the same mess as bugzilla and jira. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but IMHO the focus should be how to streamline fixes from drive-by contributors. For this we need a form, where people can document, that they agree to the donation without having an ICLA on file. That way we can source more people working on the code base and not lose time with useless discussion about legal mergability.
