This may be true in your case but for most JIRAs the reporter is not the one
who's going to provide the changes :-)
The issue of where to discuss things is bothering me as well. github is a
read-only mirror but PRs are becoming more important than patches attached to
JIRA lately. Comments on PRs get reflected in JIRA but not the other way
around, so for review comments I prefer to use github. For discussion about the
content of the issue itself - what is the problem, is there a problem at all? -
I prefer JIRA. And then there are things that may need a bigger audience than
two people involved in a single JIRA ticket in order to get them resolved, this
where I really prefer the mailing list over any tracker.

> If the results are not ignored, a unit test would fail.
> Also, do the binary hacks need to support negative numbers?
