I've spent a good bit of time thinking about the above and bounced off both different ways to measure quality and progress as well as trying to influence community behavior on this topic. My advice: start small and simple (KISS, YAGNI, all that). Get metrics for pass/fail on utest/dtest/flakiness o

I think it would be great to start getting some high quality info out of JIRA, but I think we need to clean up and standardise how we use it to facilitate this. Take the Component field as an example. This is the current list of options: 4.0 Auth Build Compaction Configuration Core CQL Distr
