I am part of Sentry community and I do not think we ever had an instance (in my honest knowledge) where a jira was committed before people had opportunity to respond/discuss. Most of the communication as I see is on jira (ideas and design), some on email (roadmap, design, release, doc, other) and review board( design and implementation details). We did take the mentors suggestions seriously about preferring email discussions over jira and have been moving some of the discussions to email list. Although I agree that there is very little value in doing so, I am not saying there is no value. These are just my thoughts and would be more than happy if people can convince me why we should duplicate or prefer email.
Pro email: 1. There might be more people familiar with email as compared to jira. So there is a chance that more people might speak up. Might be perceived as more inclusive. Pro jira: 1. It is easy to track specific items. People can just watch the specific jiras, as compared to creating fancy email filters. 2. All discussion is in one place. With email lists, often times discussions are split across threads. 3. Nice history of a feature. It is easy to link related features and hence it is easy to follow the lineage of a specific feature. This is almost impossible if we do not capture enough information on jira.
