No. I expect Deryck would have marked it "Won't fix" in that case.

It's merely an indication of where this falls on the Bug Tracker developer priority list. There are other, higher priority bugs that we need to fix and we have limited resources.

That said, this isn't a hard bug to fix (it's one of those if-I-just-had-a-spare-afternoon bugs) and I'd happily mentor anyone who wants to submit a patch for it.

To fix it, we need to:

 1. Add a new item to the BugTrackerType enumeration.
 2. Add a parseJIRAURL() method to the BugWatchSet class to allow it to be able to recognise JIRA URLs (we have good testing infrastructure for this, so writing the tests would be a case of subclassing an existing TestCase).
 3. Update any test stories which touch the BugTrackerType enumeration.
