Smart auto-assign

When an issue is created without an assignee, automatically assign it. Go one better and assign it based on skillset or in a balanced workload.

Jira and creating subtasks

Auto-create sub-tasks

Whenever a Jira issue is created, automatically create 5 sub-tasks with certain fields populated. Start simple and add depth as you go.
