Yes, which is semantically similar to having to file bugs in the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux product in bugzilla.

I linked directly to the project to use in the PR.  I'm confused why
that doesn't point you directly to the project in question.

We can look at adding instructions for "how to use Jira", but they're
not likely to land in the quickstart.  We don't have "how to use
bugzilla" instructions there either.

Briefly though, it's not that different.  You login and go to the
project, you click the blue "Create" button, and you select the
component you want to file an issue against.  It would be helpful if
someone not familiar with Jira actually tried to do this and
documented the pain points or confusing things along the way.  That
would round out documentation faster.
