[sword-devel] Bible modules in JIRA? Module maintainers?

Hi,

could I suggest a bit of reorganization of JIRA? We have 
currently one project Modules with three components: Encoding 
problem, Module creation, Text Problem, No Component.

I would think it would be a way more interesting, if the Modules 
project has as its components individual modules (e.g., CzeCEP) 
and each of these components have its assigned maintainers.

1) It would alleviate responsibility from the burden of one 
   (Chris Little) for all issues in the Project, and it would 
   attach specific person to be a focal point for each module.  
   There would be a specific person with specific 
   responsibility, authority etc. for each module, and we can 
   start working on accquiring more of such maintainers. (and 
   yes, I am asking to be assigned all Cze* modules).
2) It would be more appropriate for actually working on the 
   issues. E.g., if I have in 
   http://www.crosswire.org/tracker/browse/MOD-290 need to 
   rebuild that many modules, it is a giantic task, which I (if 
   I was assigned this ticket) would procrastrinate on forever.  
   One has to prepare each module (especially, given we don’t 
   a central repository of source code for each module), rebuild 
   it (or reedit by hand), etc.
   Whereas, if this ticket has one ticket per module blocking it 
   (or how do you do subtasks in Jira), these could be assigned 
   to individual owners of modules, who know exactly what to do, 
   and they could do it easily.

What do you think,

Matěj
