> When should we set assignee? @kou in order to set the JIRA assignee I think the code would need a mapping from github username to JIRA username. I could not find any such mapping. Since the original provenance of the code is tracked in Github (as github usernames), if someone feels the JIRA assignee field set is important, they can always post process tickets without the assignee set, find the github author, and update the JRIA accordingly. > It may be useful that we have a mode or separated tool just doing this. If we can do this before merge stage, we can sync all discussions after running this feature into the associated JIRA issue. I think we could invoke this function as a standalone tool pretty easily. That might be a good follow on PR for anyone who would use it. However, I think getting contributors to switch to JIRA for discussion rather than Github pull request comments will be harder (as it requires changing people's behavior :) ) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
