So today I absentmindedly created a GH issue to rename a repo instead of a JIRA. This
actually demonstrated a problem we might have. If we don't want to deal with people
filing issues on GH and just want JIRAs, we may want to consider turning off issues. I
know if I was trying to file a bug and someone asked me to file it again somewhere else, I
would be annoyed.
That said, I think we need to be very careful with this. If we turn off GH issues, we
would need very prominent links to our contributing guides near the top of every
repo's README so people can easily see where they can file issues.
Thoughts?

All our repos should have github issues turned off - if
this is not the
case please file JIRAs for me.

Good idea, what about filing a handful of JIRAS for
updating
CONTRIBUTING.markdown? This can be a good low-hanging fruit for new
contributors...

Updating those files is fine but I would still like something in all READMEs since those
are what people look at. I know I never look for a contributing file and since we're
removing issues, they won't get the GH prompt unless they file a PR and that's not
what someone trying to file a bug is doing necessarily.

JIRA's not GH issues. :) That joke was funnier in my head I think.
