That may be, but e-mail is *the* sanctioned medium for discussion of the
ASF. If you want to track summaries on the wiki, have a quick chat on IRC
or other, or track issue status on JIRA, fine. But discussion is to be via
e-mail. The policy exists to ensure that everyone can communicate
asynchronously, and often via disconnected means. E-mail archives have
great longevity and are ubiquitous, unlike the flavor-of-the-month that
happens with other systems, including issues trackers (JIRA is the 4th one
that has been used at the ASF, and not likely to be the last).

Yes, we'd all like to have all of our information cross-linked and
itegrated. That was the idea behind Lotus Notes.
You'll be happy to know that that has been talk about setting up forum
software linked to our mailing lists, but that would not integrate JIRA.
Another reason to focus discussion on our mailing lists, not the issue
tracker.
