Hello everyone!

Recently, we relaxed the requirement for creating a Jira issue when opening
a pull request (LUCENE-10545
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10545>).

As the next and bigger (perhaps ambitious) step, I opened a rough proposal
for migration to GitHub issue from Jira.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10557

According to the INFRA issue for the RocketMQ project (Michael McCandless
gave the pointer in a comment on the issue; thanks!), a PMC agreement or
Vote result is needed for the decision.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15702

Eventually, we'd need a formal vote, but before that, I'd like to hear
general opinions/thoughts (or feelings) on this topic from developers.

In brief, I think it'd be technically possible and also be good for the
project - not only for welcoming new developers who are not familiar with
Jira, but also for improving the experiences of long-term contributors by
consolidating the conversation platform.
It'll need some administrative work though, I'm willing to work for it if
we reach an agreement.

Please note that:
* This is not a VOTE. Simple vote-style feedback (+/- 1) is welcome, but we
don't aim to reach a conclusion in this thread.
* Let's not discuss "how to migrate existing Jira issues" for now. Once we
decide the migration will be good for us, then we can try to figure out a
reasonable solution for technical/administrative matters.

I may be too optimistic about it; but - a bit of stupidness will be needed
to start such a move, and I'm serious about this proposal :)

Thanks and regards,
Tomoko
