What would be the benefit over the current approach? You can just fiter JIRA for issues with a specific label:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2771?jql=project%20%3D%20FLINK%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20test-stability%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC Not sure if the gain (if there is any) justifies the overhead of adding issues to an umbrella issue. 2015-10-09 13:47 GMT+02:00 Matthias J.
