[wildfly-dev] Jirban board for WFLY feature requests/Jira cleanup

[Kabir Khan]

I am doing the bulk closures. I already had some complaints about the email spam, and there is a lot more to come. So, I will ask Jira not to send notifications for anything from the first set at least ([3] below).

We leave them Resolved until the .Final release is done because if something comes up and we need further work it's more of a pain to deal with a closed issue. But once the .Final release is done, I actually want it to be a pain to change the issue; e.g. reopening it because someone wants something more is usually wrong.

Secondly, it keeps the Jirban cache of issues on the server as small as possible, as the issues in the states configured to be 'done' in the Jirban config (i.e. Closed) are not cached. Also, the list of Fix Versions in the Jirban filters is populated from the issue data, so a nice side effect will be to keep that list more manageable. At the moment there are too many versions in there to make much sense out of it.

The ones from [4], [5] and [6] need a bit of care, but hopefully the date they were resolved can help figure out which release they went into. Or perhaps since they have been resolved with a strange fix version for so long, it doesn't matter if they are closed against that version either?
