We had an issue when a developer accidentally entered a very large Distribution List into the watcher field of a Jira ticket. This caused Jira to crash. We would like to find a way to prevent users from entering a distribution list or limit only 20 emails in the watcher per issue. How do we go about limiting what gets entered within the watcher field?

How to find Issues with Merged PR

I'd like to find all open issues that have a merged PR in order to find tickets that might have been forgotten to be resolved and therefore will probably ship to production untested.

JQL has the two terms `development[pullrequests].open` and `development[pullrequests].open`, but unfortunately no means to filter out `declined` PRs. So when I do `status not in (Closed, Resolved) AND development[pullrequests].all > 0 AND development[pullrequests].open = 0`, I will get both issues with `merged` and `declined` PRs. I'd like to only get the ones with `merged` PRs.

Is that possible somehow? If not, could this be added to JQL?

One can prevent such "accidents" by providing another implementation of NotificationSchemeManager. This implementation could inherit from the default implementation and just overwrite getRecipients. If this set of recipients is larger than a predefined limit, mails are not sent or only a certain number of emails are sent. You might also send an alert email to the admins to indicate that obviously somewhere something is misconfigured.
