Hi everyone, submitting bugs and feature requests are types of community contributions with a very low entry barrier for first-time contributors. To submit bug reports, users currently need to register in our Jira, which is not so straightforward for non-Apache-folks. By using Github issues, I'd expect that users find a more convenient way to submit issues and we would foster community engagement.
There are more and more ASF projects which are moving to Github issues, e.g., our friends from PLC4X have just recently migrated and also Apache Airflow [1] and Apache Pulsar [2] are two great examples. I also like the Github discussion feature Airflow and Pulsar are using. For some background information, people from Apache Beam have written a feature comparison [3], a migration guide [4] and even a migration tool [5] which we could also use to transfer our issues from Jira to Github. What do you think?
