P.s.: We have at least one or two unsolved issues in JIRA like this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DMAP-24?jql=project%20%3D%20DMAP%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC

As of now, only the person who created the bug can edit it I saw (in cases
I reported I could update or resolve them, every other is assigned to
Bertrand) and it lacks something like a "Component" where "Device Data"
could be differentiated from "API" or other parts of the project. Multiple
assignees or (JIRA) project managers would be good, then JIRA could be a
little more effective than the somewhat more simple GitHub system. Its
power are Pull-requests which are automatically created as issues and
closed when the request is accepted and merged. Otherwise I'd prefer JIRA.
I suggested a member who found his new Sony Android tablet regognized only
as a (fallback) smartphone he should either send me an email or raise a
ticket in JIRA. Of course existing tickets should be fixed. If the Device
Data could be migrated to Git I think it would be beneficial.

The API may not be such trouble in SVN, unless Dozens of people update it
on a regular basis

WDYT?
