Hi Tomoko,

Thanks for raising this discussion!

As a new member of the Lucene community, I'm also confused by the input
components when creating a Jira issue. I struggled with previewing my text
and had to edit it after creating a Jira issue or a comment, and I just
found that each re-edit would send an email notification to the list 😅

I only used the GitHub issue system on a small team scale and I am getting
familiar with Jira now. It would be very helpful if we can create a clear
instruction/guide for new developers on how to create an issue no matter
which system we choose in the future.

Best,
Yuting
