Whenever I know someone is
working on some big changes and aren't letting them out for weeks on

So, how would I notify the list that I am currently not working on the
issue I am assigned to , because maybe I am busy . For example, I
cannot work on the logging issue till this Friday, because of an
assignment which will pretty much take up my whole day every day this
week. However, you might think that I am currently working on the
Logging issue (which I am not). So, how would I let you know of that ?
Is there a procedure I need to follow for this, or do I just send you
an email saying, "I cannot work on it for a week". I would hate to sit
quiet and let you think I am working on it.
I usually assume someone is not working on something unless they say
otherwise, even if there's a jira assigned to them. That's the most
typical case anyway :)
But generally if there's a jira assigned to you and you don't know
when you'll get time to work on it, after a few weeks of no activity
you should put it back in the pool -- very easy to grab it again
should you find the time one day. Not a hard rule, just a good
goal :) I only clean out jiras assigned to me once every couple of
months -- I should do it much more than that.
