FWIW, the goal of this field was to help project planning (both going forwards,
and in looking at how we've fared to help project going forwards) more than
contributor assignment. There wasn't any expectation that the correct
complexity would be provided on triage.
I'm not sure how much Jira
+1 as well.
One thing to note, many times when i create a ticket i don't know the
complexity as I just found a bug (most of the time in a system i do not
know); so i tend to default to w/e is in the middle. Leaving the field for
someone else to classify feels iffy as we need then someone triaging
Branching out the discussion on the complexity levels from the "Attracting
new contributors" thread so we don't mix up the topics in the same thread.
I personally think that the "complexity" field is more an indicator/hint
for inexperienced contributors on whether he will be able to work on a
part
