This is related to Issue tracking in the project, but I want to not distract that thread. Today we already have GitHub issues in some projects and I think it can be useful to track Red Hat’s Jira there. In Redmine we already have a (deprecated) Bugzilla field and a Jira field.
Is there an objection to add a custom field for Red Hat Jira at the theforeman organization level? It needs to be a text field (URLs are autodetected).
While I hate the split of information coming from Red Hat Jira, having the reference would be an improvement in finding additional information.
As some Jira issues were not public in the past, a label or something that tells me I can skip this link as private would be nice, but I have no idea if this could be done.
I think we should still aim to have the upstream information to be complete that you don’t need Jira to understand it. The primary purpose is IMHO for Red Hatters to know if we’re already tracking it downstream.
On a related note: I’m actively thinking about how we can do a better job here. So far not a lot, but hopefully next week I can actually present something useful at DevConf.
Since it’s a text field, we can use $url (private) even if it makes parsing a bit harder. And keeping that in sync as well. I’d like to avoid it in the beginning and revisit it if it becomes a common problem.
