Jira has a reminder plugin that will annoy (remind) the assignee if he has not updated the ticket.
I don't know if apache has it enabled, if not, may be we can look into making a crawler that goes out and look for tickets that have not been updated for "x" number of days - and if found, send a reminder. -----Original Message----- From: David Nalley [mailto:da...@gnsa.us] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 6:42 PM To: Marcus Sorensen Cc: Chip Childers; Animesh Chaturvedi; cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [ACS41] Can folks please take responsibility for updating their own Jira tickets?

Hmm, I think they are all distinct, and only really 'linked' to the issue of getting code in which seems complete, but perhaps I am wrong. --David
