## AI overview

Gradle announces that GitHub Issues is now open for submitting feature requests and bugs. The article describes issue templates, prioritization, ZenHub-based workflow management, pull-request reviews, and the planned migration of open JIRA issues to GitHub.

## Source excerpt

Gradle has been an open-source project since its inception, but as a team we haven't always lived up to the spirit of modern open-source collaboration. For example, we haven't made it easy for folks to stay abreast of what we're working on, and we haven't had a clear and simple process for users to submit feature requests or bugs against a proper issue tracker. We're very happy to announce that all of that is changing today. We've opened up GitHub Issues on the Gradle repository, and what follows are the immediate, medium-, and long-term changes we're making to put--and keep!--the needs of the Gradle community front and center. Effective Immediately ✔︎ You can now submit feature requests and bugs through GitHub Issues. We've put together a simple set of guidelines in the form of an issue template so you'll be presented with them each time you submit a new issue. We'll label issues that don't follow these guidelines as not-actionable and we'll add a comment asking for what's missing. To keep things clean, we'll close these issues after a week of inactivity. ✔︎ Actionable issues you submit will be prioritized alongside other Gradle improvements. Low-cost changes that benefit a large number of users are the easiest to justify, so please add a 👍 reaction to issues that matter to you. Like many other GitHub projects, we'll use these reactions as a simple kind of voting system. ✔︎ We'll manage issue priority and workflow using ZenHub. If you're not already familiar, ZenHub adds a number of features to GitHub Issues through its clever browser extension. It allows us to group related issues into epics and to visualize everything via a kanban board. Installing and using ZenHub is by no means a requirement, but do check it out if you'd like to get an additional level of insight about what we're working on. ✔︎ Pull requests will be acknowledged within a week and reviews of them will be done through GitHub's built-in pull request reviews.
