If there isn't a JIRA, it doesn't exist... I think that's the key in this discussion: if a project considers JIRA their central organizing tool, it's fine to require patches to go there. If another project prefers patches on the dev list, that also works, though JIRA helps make the "intentional contribution" bit more explicit. In both cases, authors of "substantial contributions" (whatever that means) need to have an iCLA on file. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
