Dear R Developers, I started programming in R just last January, for which I read (, summarized and memorized) 2 incredible R Programming books: "R Cookbook" and "R Graphics Cookbook".
However, I did before know how to program in MariaDB SQL language, and had submitted for their bug platform previously some bugs (https://jira.mariadb.org/projects/MDEV/issues), which is based on JIRA: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira On the other hand, R has the mailing list, which is really simple, but: a) I found it really difficult at first to understand how it worked. b) I feel it does not fully respect the privacy of the package maintainers. c) And it can give place to e-mail Spam. In fact, Rstudio has disabled bug.report(package = "somePkg") command in order to avoid misuse. That is why I would suggest that, being JIRA free for Open Source Projects such as R: https://de.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request It would be really worth it to start using this modern platform gradually instead of Bugzilla, or the mailing lists, for new R developed packages. This would imply a considerable change to the R community, but I really think it would be worth it, and would help it to improve and be even greater. Although I might be wrong, and there might be different point of views which could be better than mine. However, I do sincerely think that testing this platform instead of Bugzilla would be really worth it. Hope my suggestion is useful.
