This isn't new. Ever since I've been wanting to submit patches, pretty
much, JIRA - at least officially - hasn't been an option for legal
reasons, because it bypasses the CLA. The CLA is the primary reason
why patches can't be accepted from other sources, as far as I
understand it.

[ that having been said, I agree that it's really annoying, but I
can't really see a nice method to solve this, other than possibly
directing them to accept the CLA on gerrit the first time they upload
a patch to JIRA, but that's going to require customisations.. and in
the end, it's probably better to focus on streamlining the
contribution & review process we have first ]
