Has anyone created a Jira as a mechanism to track the decisioning

Not sure if it's what you mean, but there already were issues
opened for tracking progress towards a release.

Just curious,
because it seems more appropriate than having that discussion out
here
on the mailing list.
Thoughts?

You will have to pardon me Gilles, as I have, much like Gary, have
been
quite busy of late. I suppose the main question here should be: of
the 101
open, in-progress, or reopened, jiras, which most need to be in
4.0. Can we
sort them into two categories, 4.0 and 4.X? Do you mind if I try to
make
some headway in this area? I will continue to read through the
issues to
see wha
[Seems there was something more you wanted to say.]
Whatever you can do to clean up (request for feedback from the issue
reporter, sort issues, ...) is welcome of course.
Let me be clearer (if I can): I do not (and cannot) request that
contributors spend more time than they have at their disposal.
But I would like to know whether the situation is here to stay, i.e.
whether committers have lost interest in helping with CM and related
stuff.
I recall that I had announced, now almost a year ago, that
1. I do not have the capacity to maintain CM all by myself, and that
it was/is (IMHO) a disservice to current and future users to let
the
code rot,
2. a viable alternative existed (IMO): more focused components (for
codes which active contributors could maintain).
AFAIR, the proposal was well accepted by all "new" committers (5
people),
but not by the majority of PMC members (who spoke out).
Since then, no PMC member has significantly contributed to CM so as
to
advance towards a future release of the component as is (in the
"master"
branch).
I ask a simple and direct question to all PMC members: Is it now OK
to save the pieces of CM (so that each can be mended at its own
pace,
waiting the necessary workforce to do so), or do you prefer that
_all_
the code gets less and less relevant (due to bugs or outdated
practice
and that the community disappears?
Thanks for your attention,
Gilles
