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 ] _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
