Hi devs,

I am very happy that we finally have a bug/feature tracker (thanks to Bobby and 
Jason):

https://gem5.atlassian.net/projects/GEM5/issues

This is very powerful IMHO when it comes to pushing a big chunk of patches.
Usually most of them are refactoring patches preparing for the actual feature 
implementation
or bug fix.

Sometimes, when I start reviewing them, it takes quite some time to understand 
the context or
the purpose of them, unless a description of what they are trying to achieve is 
provided through this
mailing list.

I strongly suggest to use JIRA on that purpose: creating a ticket describing 
the issue and
possibly linking the first patch (or maybe all?) of the patchset to the ticket 
itself (in the commit message).
This will likely reduce the review time, since a reviewer will have an idea of 
what the owner
is trying to achieve.

Pardon me if this reminder seems obvious and unnecessary,

Giacomo
