A global reference in JBS would indeed be very good to track back the
work in a PR to a real issue. It can also be very useful as there are
many existing issues in JBS that can be referred to in future work.
The only issue I see is that in order to create an issue in JBS, you
need to have "author" status, so not everyone can do this? Given the
idea that developers who want to create a PR also need to sign an OCA,
it might make sense to somehow combine the administration?
I don't think we can combine this, but I hope to be able to relax the
requirements to become an Author a little. The current guidelines are 2
sponsored contributions [1].
Pending appointment as an Author, it isn't hard to submit a bug via
http://bugreport.java.com/ . If there is a test case, it usually gets
moved to the JDK project within a day or so (and I can move them sooner,
if needed). The bigger bother is that you can't comment in JBS on a bug
you didn't create, but once the bug is there, you can work on it in
GutHub and/or send email to the list. I'll also add any comments from
contributors who are not yet Authors to any bug report.
