Not advocating either way, but none of your arguments really hit on the
intent of the proposal.
You would still have access to Jira, if I am understanding Luke
correctly. The thing the Gradle team is trying to get out of is the
creation of garbage basically. Duplicate issues, non-issues, etc. As
I understand it, they want to be able to screen potential problems
*before* they get into Jira. So you'd still have access to Jira, just
not to create issues directly. You would still watch/vote/etc in Jira
directly.

Sure Jira is not perfect, but it lets you tag things as 'duplicate', 'user
error', etc. And they allow you to see what release it is targetted for, if
someone is assigned to it, if it has been resolved etc.
A forum is just a collection of threads with none of these features. I just
don't see myself 'filing' issues by going to the forum.
BTW: I have not yet signed on to the forum. I already have enough different
places to go to to check for new stuff on a regular basis. And like I said, to
me the Jira tracker seems like a better place to keep an eye on the issues that
affect me.
