You are correct. The QA bit is the higher priority of the effort.

I'm still wonder what to do with those that have signed agreements that 
want to submit source for review or for a test before a jira issue seems 
practical.

In the end, yes, the jira serialization is very helpful and does help 
make efforts become more official.
