Hi, All. Since we use both Apache JIRA and GitHub actively for Apache Spark contributions, we have lots of JIRAs and PRs consequently. One specific thing I've been longing to see is `Jira Issue Type` in GitHub.
How about exposing JIRA issue types at GitHub PRs as GitHub `Labels`? There are two main benefits: 1. It helps the communication between the contributors and reviewers with more information. (In some cases, some people only visit GitHub to see the PR and commits) 2. `Labels` is searchable. We don't need to visit Apache Jira to search PRs to see a specific type. (For example, the reviewers can see and review 'BUG' PRs first by using `is:open is:pr label:BUG`.) Of course, this can be done automatically without human intervention. Since we already have GitHub Jenkins job to access JIRA/GitHub, that job can add the labels from the beginning. If needed, I can volunteer to update the script. To show the demo, I labeled several PRs manually. You can see the result right now in Apache Spark PR page. - https://github.com/apache/spark/pulls If you're surprised due to those manual activities, I want to apologize for that. I hope we can take advantage of the existing GitHub features to serve Apache Spark community in a way better than yesterday. How do you think about this specific suggestion? Bests, Dongjoon PS. I saw that `Request Review` and `Assign` features are already used for some purposes, but these feature are out of the scope in this email.
