Comments?
My comment is quite simple: let's allow such JIRA's but it becomes a task
for the author to coordinate the changes with all the experts.
If such a JIRA can be splitted into 2 separate JIRAs let commiter do it and
post an explanation.
Ok - first, we certainly allow it - I'd sooner accept a contribution
from someone than push them away with a rule like this.
But that said, for the JIRAs that I was working with, people were
actively engaged, so why should we put it on the committer to do it, or
make it a "two phase" commit to complete the JIRA? I'd suggest simply
that the committer should ask if they want, like I did. It worked out.
I don't want to create the new JIRA, as I'd rather the people that are
offering and engaging on the patch to do it so we know who to talk to,
etc...
