Following Don's comments... with Java Web Parts, we have taken to using the Feature Requests feature at SourceForge for all work being done, regardless of whether it is actually a "feature request" or not... since you can open a ticket, assign it, prioritize, comment, etc., it gives us all one place to go to and see what tasks we plan to accomplish, and if anyone has assigned it to themselves to indicate they are actively working on it. Sounds like JIRA can serve the same purpose, so I like Don's suggestion.
