It’s not a bad idea - though in fact, upon selecting the “How to …” issue type, 
maybe JIRA could be triggered to display a note suggesting that they post their 
question first on the pdfbox user’s mailing list?

On the other hand, the idea of accumulating ‘How to ..’ questions within Jira 
could be a nice means for accumulating an FAQ database.  On the other other 
hand, there are a couple of tools out there one can use that are dedicated to 
that so might be better choices.

Just some thoughts from a long-time lurker.
