Timo originally proposed this but I'd like to actually see the proposal implemented. When working on ReactOS, I'd like developers to create tickets in jira that their commits can then reference. For example, Amine's wine syncs could have a ticket with the title "Wine sync with version 1.x.y" or Alex's NPFS rewrite could have a ticket with the title "New NPFS driver" and the relevant commits can have the ticket number in them. This way when time comes for the changelog, all that needs to be done is gather a list of all tickets closed before the branch, no more of the digging through thousands of commit messages crap.

Those things should line up to create development plan, and each such issue would be tied to a specific version number. Then planning the next release, the beta switch, the 1.0 release would come out naturally, without hot debates.
That's what I am telling since the moment I started pushing the change to JIRA.
