- Adopt Github Pull Request (PR) as the unique channel for code contribution

I don't see a reason why we should not allow patches also. It will make it easier for people to contribute who are not able (or willing) to run
their own GitHub repository.
We should encourage people to use PR's but not force it (at least, not
immediately...).
I agree with Michael, using only GitHub (GH) is too radical, IMO even in the
future.
Also the Jacopo's remark about using (only?) a 3rd party tool should be checked if ever we get this way. Jira is also a 3rd party tool but it's
donated by Atlassian to the ASF and handled/customised/maintained by the Infra team. Also it uses a customised version of the OFBiz Entity Engine, own
dog food? :)
- Require tickets only for bug reports

Jira tickets for improvements/new features are extremely helpful to have everything in one place (with the addition to a link to the mailing list
discussion), track the efforts, watch issues etc.
How would you manage the work then?
+1 with Michael's comment, Jira is very handy when it comes to details like
uploading info, etc. Not sure GH provides the same
- Replace JIRA with Github issues
-1
Why should we have two different issue management systems when we can have
everything in one place? What advantages do you see for doing so?
I also would not rely too heavily on GitHub because it is not an official ASF
resource and IMO Jira is a huge knowledge base of the project.
I agree with Michael, I believe GH is there to stay (as a Microsoft product now), but you never know with 3rd party tool. Sometimes they don't even
provide way to migrate (yes, you Google!)
