I think both of you raise good points - we don’t want to duplicate effort, since most of us on the Canonical side are at least a little overextended, and we don’t want to seem like we’re abandoning current workflows and tools. You’re both coming from good places, and I think this is a good conversation to have in the open, to get all the different stakeholders and to be intentional and thoughtful.
To me, it seems like there’s two separate issues being raised - having something to wrangle issues around a common theme and allow for general discussion outside of bug reports (something for Jira or a program like it) and the bug reports themselves on Launchpad. Does this seem like a fair assessment @rbasak and @local-optimum (and all the community members in the discussion so far?)
