Would  it suffice to make the existing 'component'  field _required_ at ticket 
creation time, and having components consist of 'C++', 'Java', & perhaps 
'Both/All/*' as well? I imagine that is less effort than setting up and 
maintaining a separate project and solves the problem, unless there are 
advantages that a separate project would provide other than just issue 
filtering by C++/Java.

    Joe,
    
    We actually already have that. There is a 'C++' and 'Java' component. It 
works for the most part, but there are cases where it becomes ambiguous, 
particularly on docker-related tickets.
    
    I think there's certainly an argument that we need to just track components 
more carefully. Having it be a separate JIRA would make it harder to make a 
ticket ambiguous. Is it worth the effort/overhead of setting up another JIRA? 
I'll leave that to the more experienced/established Apache parties since I 
don't know what the overhead cost is.

    Can we recommend and setup a set of component names so that filtering
    can be done reasonably?
    
    If we do that would it be sufficient?
    
    Alternatively we can ask ASF infra to setup another JIRA project such
    as 'minificpp' but I'd like to avoid that until we're really sure we
    want to bug em.
    
    Thanks
