Patch available in JIRA

[Dennis Byrne <de...@dbyrne.net>]

Without logging in to JIRA, I was able to the change the status of MYFACES-1149 to "Patch Available" .  

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1149?page=all

I did this accidently a few days ago - I seem to remember clicking on a "Provide Patch" link .  Now, even though I am logged in, I cannot see how to revert the status ; even using the "Edit this issue" link.  Also, can we prevent this situation in the future by requiring a patch when a user changes the status of an issue to "Patch Available".

JIRA is cooperating now so I was able to update the workflow.  I added
a "Cancel Patch" operation.  For now it just dumps you to "Open" even
if the status beforehand was "Reopened."  No big deal IMO.  Its more
important that we get the patch status correct.  I also fixed the
issue in question as a test.

I tried modifying the workflow but its tricky with JIRA.  You can't
change an active workflow so you have to create a new one and then
migrate your projects to a new workflow scheme.  I was only able to
migrate Tobago.  I get a 503 server error when I try to change the
workflow schemes of other projects.  The ASF JIRA box is notoriously
problematic so I'll try later.

Because there's no way to detect the presence of a real patch (even if
we could detect attachments), I think we need two options -- one to
specify there's now a patch, and one to say there's no longer a patch.

It's possible that someone could submit a patch that was rejected in
addition to providing no patch.

There is no way to revert although I could add one.  The difficulty
will be in determining what state to put it back in ...

There's no easy way to require a patch.  I don't think we can check
for the presence of an attachment.
