The only real *problem* with using jira for this is that each patch needs to be a nearly complete solution that is at that moment ready to be integrated into OFBiz. There are many features/mini projects that fall outside of that and are incrementally improved upon (ie google checkout integration). Additionally, it puts a bit of burden on those maintaining JIRA (removing/renaming patches, etc). JIRA is probably still an excellent location to discuss the feature/mini project, it's just not as giving to collaboratively create a feature.
