I have seen some large projects relying on Github Issues, Docker being one of them. I have recently been using it in the Pravega project and I do find that it doesn't offer right up front some of the features that jira offers. For example, it doesn't give you the ability of creating a workflow, although what we have done and have seen others doing it to create labels to represent steps of a workflow. We ended up overloading the use of labels, but it looks decent with the colors and such.
I also find a bit confusing the relationship between issues and pull requests at times. We have been trying to enforce that each pull request requires at least one issue, but sometimes it feels unnatural because you also have space for a description and the ability to comment in a pull request. I'm not sure what the story is for github issues and apache infra, though. The information I have is the same as Bobby's. Does anyone have a pointer? -Flavio > On 26 May 2017, at 17:06, Bobby Evans <ev...@yahoo-inc.com.INVALID> wrote: > > Apache does have a requirement that community discussions and especially > votes are stored on apache servers.
