[jboss-as7-dev] IMPORTANT New JIRA Policy & Massive JBAS JIRA Reorg/Cleanup

[Jason T. Greene]

JIRA is pretty limited in these kinds of searches. We would need a 
custom crawler whether they are open or not. I closed all of the 
untracked issues with a resolution of "Out of Date", so that it would be 
easy to find them if need be.

If we can find someone to work on it, we could create a report that 
finds all linked issues that are not marked Closed/Done from JBPAPP. 
Another report could look for close matches of the same issue subject.
