That's kind of what I thought. I will create JIRA tickets too until the pull requests are included in the release notes. Thanks Justin.

Hi Micheal,

I dont think we have a set policy on this but i think github pull request are fine. However for larger scale changes we have the gsip process which describes via proposal a change a developer wishes to make and goes through a formal voting process. So depending on the change you might be asked for more.

That said it never hurts to create a supplementary jira issue for a change. One benefit of which is that it shows up in the official change log (release notes) for a release. Although as we get more contributions via pull request we will probably want to start including them in the release notes.

Anyways like I said this is not official but just my thoughts after a month or so of being on git hub. I am sure other devs will have opinions as well.

    To add a new feature or fix a bug using a github pull request,

(http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/patches.html#github-pull-requests)
    does not mention creating a ticket for this case.

    Thanks,
