(Comments on SOLR-2191 between Mark & I were starting to get off-topic with
respect to the issue so I am continuing the conversation here)

A lot of JIRA issues seem to fall off the radar, IMO. I'm talking about
issues that have patches and are basically ready to go.  There are multiple
ways to address this but at the moment I am going to just bring up one.
Looking at the versions in JIRA one can assign an issue to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aversions-panel
I see the version named "Next", with this description: "Placeholder for
commiters to track issues that are not ready to commit, but seem close
enough to being ready to warrant focus before the next feature release".
This version and what it implies is a common pattern in use of JIRA that I
too use for projects I manage for my employer. It appears that for the 3.1
release, nobody looked through the issues assigned to "Next", and
consequently, some issues like SOLR-2191 were forgotten despite being ready
to go.  Looking through the wiki I see information on how to do a release
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToRelease and release suggestions but no
information on what to do in advance of a release.  I also don't see any
administrative tasks on managing the "Next" version in JIRA.  So I think
either the "Next" version should be used effectively, or if that isn't going
to happen then delete this version.

On a related note, I don't know what to make of the "1.5" version, nor what
to make of issues marked as Closed for "Next".  Some house cleaning is in
order.

Thoughts?
