Thanks, Micah, for setting up this discussion.

Regarding a GitHub action to make JIRA issues from GitHub issues/PRs, I'm
all in favor of that, though I think it should not be automatic but rather
triggered by a comment on the issue/PR. Sometimes a GitHub issue is a
question with a simple answer, and sometimes you make a PR and either
forget to link the existing JIRA or put the wrong issue number on it. A
comment action still lets you make the JIRA without leaving GitHub.

The other thing that would be nice would be some sort of script/action that
makes it easy to add a JIRA user to the "contributors" role so that they
can be assigned issues. I find that I often have to do this after merging
someone's first PR, so we could add something to the PR merge tool that
when an issue is "NOT ASSIGNED!", it asks if you want to assign to the
reporter, and if the reporter is not a "contributor", add them to that role
first. That's not the only time it comes up (and if we start having more
JIRAs created from GitHub issues/PR by a bot user, it won't be as helpful),
but it would be a start.
