I think D is important for making the barrier low for new contributors to
get started.

It won't be great as we'll have two places to look a CHANGES entry against
but I'll be okay with that.

Today a new contributor creates a PR and a committer can even merge the PR
from the github interface. But in between those 2 steps we have to tell the
contributor to go create a placeholder Jira.

Imagine if this new contributor just wants to fix one typo from the ref
guide. The overhead involved will shun quite a lot of folks?
