Re: [jboss-as7-dev] "Open to Community" becomes "Awaiting Volunteers"
This is a very good point. My guess is most "Awaiting Volunteers" issues
are fairly complex.
Before working on one of these, talk to the relevant component lead. If
getting it done is going to take a lot of mentoring and there's no one
available to do that, better to find out early. Same thing if there's a
schedule conflict -- you have time to work it now, but it's really not
appropriate for the AS version under development, and you are
uninterested in pursuing it if it won't surface until the next release.

A description would be nice. I'm sure there are several
"Awaiting
Volunteers"-issues that look trivial but have non-trivial side-effects
(one reason it wasn't just fixed straight away). A quick pointer where
to start looking and whom to contact for more information would help.

That is a much better name.
I wonder if we can take this one step further and ensure each one of
these has a short description roughly describing what needs to be done
to make it easier for a contributor to get started.
