As an IT architect I want to generate GitHub/Jira issues from the process model in order to save time for creating issues for reoccuring/routine tasks

Results of the Delphi study showed that testing of process applications is an area where IT architects are not really satisfied with current approaches compared to other areas. Usually manual testing of process applications is a last step before deploying to production and still a big concern. This testing needs to be coordinated, e.g. by creating GitHub/Jira issues for each model element that needs manual testing. This task of creating issues can be automated, especially for reoccuring or routine tasks like testing specific model elements.

The user could select all process elements, for which to create an issue, and a template, from which to generate issue descriptions, etc. Additionally, an connection to GitHub/Jira is needed to actually generate the issues.

This feature doesn't build on top of validations and consistency checks of vPAV. Therefore, it needs to be discussed whether to integrate it into vPAV or develop a separate solution.

In general this sounds pretty cool. The question is, how do we realize such feature. I could imagine having the option in the HTML output to publish/export all results into a pre-configured Git/Jira location (specify in ruleSet.xml or create new properties file for such things). APIs can be reached via JS as well, so no standalone is needed in this case.
