The reply from Infra ( see [0] ) was that Jira groups are discouraged
since they can't be easily managed and there is no link between Jira
groups and LDAP groups. They therefore recommend assigning users
directly to roles [1] . I will take a second pass through the users
and 'expand' the sling-developers group to its current listing and
remove it from Jira.
