[sakai2-tcc] Cross cutting concerns and prompt patching during a major release

[Berg, Alan]

Hi,

There are 99 contributed patches still open, so to use the contributed patch tag probably requires a review and placing in a known state these already open patches before indicative use.

There is always the contributed patch case type. Making a contributed
patch case and linking it to the original would certainly flag things
up (though it is a bit of a pain to have multiple tickets so I don't
really love this as an option).

This would add a fourth checkbox to the Jira form but it would help simplify tracking the progress of tickets that include a submitted patch.  I am not suggesting this a solution to the problem of patch management but as a tweek that may help us better measure the extent of the problem.

Just having a patch attached is zero indication that this is something that needs a little bit of immediate attention.
