[jbosstools-dev] Access to jbosstools-integration-stack-tests

[Andrej Podhradsky]

Hey Max, Alexey,

first of all, could you grant the access to the repo to jomarko, please?
(no matter which issue tracker we use he will need that permission).

Regarding to our discussion of using github issue tracker:
- affects and fixed versions are not so important if we do not make
releases (we do not release tests)
- it is comfortable to use the github tracker
- multiple issue trackers... well, we use github for other projects so this
doesn't add another tracker to our list of trackers (jira, bugzilla,
eclipse bugzilla, github, gitlab)

But I agree with your argument that we are not seen. Let me think of it and
probably we will go back to the jira.

Best Regards

Andrej
