We received a suggestion from the last board report to consider switching from JIRA to GitHub issues.
The ASF JIRA instance no longer allows users to self-sign-up (though it DOES allow us to invite others). This is largely due to spam. Most developers have a GitHub account (and that is where most folks interact with Shiro's code base), and this would meet folks where they are, as opposed to making them go somewhere else to dig through issues. Tentative suggestion: * Go through existing Shiro JIRA issues and close any issues that are no longer relevant. * Migrate open issues to GitHub Issues in apache/shiro (linking back to the JIRA issue) * All new issues will only be created in GitHub Issues * When an existing JIRA issue is fixed, it will be updated in both locations Potential process changes: * Release notes/change logs are currently generated through JIRA. (There has been some discussion in the ASF Slack about using JReleaser, which can generate a change log) NOTE: This is not final; the above text is just to start the discussion. Feel free to pick holes in the above, suggest changes, or propose something else! Thoughts and feedback are welcome! -Brian
