OpenJDK bug database: DRAFT Developer Workflow

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Iris,

> In my mind, this would be ideal.

I'm planning on having a good community structure in place (it's
already forming via the Adopt a JSR, and OpenJDK adoption programs) by
the time this JIRA move occurs (mid 2012 I'm guessing?). So perhaps if
the initial JIRA workflow design takes this into account? Perhaps an
alternative workflow can be thought of in case that initiative fails
for whatever reason (but hopefully once a deep roots community forms
around this that won't be a problem).

Cheers,
Martijn
