What's our source of truth about "X is fixed in Y" during the trial? I have been assuming that JIRA is currently our source of truth, but maybe that's wrong. Is it the release notes? IMHO, Git is a poor choice for the source of truth due to the immutability of commit messages, at least in ASF contexts since we can't do force pushes (in at least some branches). -- busbey
