Michael Wenig commented on MCHANGES-202:
----------------------------------------

There is a difference between the type of a change and the type of an issue.

The existing type attribute is limited to 'add', 'update', 'fix' and 'remove' 
and expresses the kind of change at the source level.

When you compare the sample changes report with the sample jira report (
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-changes-plugin/changes-report.html vs.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-changes-plugin/jira-report.html)

you can see that on the jira report for every change the type of issue is 
mentioned (Bug, New Feature, ...). The changes-report is only showing an image 
about the type and the possible types are predefined. SO there is no 
possibility to mention the type of the issue (like a UserStory) except entering 
it in the description.

If you try to achieve a report like the jira-report using the changes.xml there 
is a missing issueType which is entered as text in the report (and perhaps the 
report is grouped by the issueType):

Something like
|[type-image]|UserStory|TEST-123|bla bla bla||micha||
