I'm a maintainer of a large open-source cyber-security projects XENA. I don't use Jira nor similar software. I leave notes with TODO comments across the codebase, from to time I'd search and see if something should be done from those. I have a single notes.txt where I write anything, I tend to keep it short and prune anything I do not feel confident about anymore. My priorities about the project are ordered in a simple fashion. At first place comes any bugs. Then I work on a singular feature until it's stable then I release it and move on. The way I decide which feature goes in or not is based on the "10 year" rule. Basically I think if this feature would be used in a decade, if so then I'm keen on introducing it. That's pretty much it. if bugs.length > 0 { fixBugs() } else { feautre = new Feature() if feature == good_enough { feature.implement() } }
