Let's move Jira tickets to GitHub

Background: http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Ontology_meeting_2015-09-17#Review_of_Jira_tickets

Given that an automated solution is not yet in sight, Chris advises that "we should do this manually and ruthlessly". So let's all go ahead and move our own tickets to GH. (Paola looked at tickets assigned to non-editors, and re-assigned to ticket creator or followed up (with Seth).)

In the process, please close anything that is now solved or out of date, move anything that belongs in other GH trackers, etc.

'cell proliferation' terms

Most have logical def, e.g. 'epithelial cell proliferation' is_a 'cell proliferation' that acts_on_population_of 'epithelial cell'. Did we have plans for a TG template? (Not in Jira.)

Note: this is a case where we have a semi-random distribution of terms in the ontology vs annotation extensions. Should we just make terms for all AE usage and retrofit AEs?

Adding logical defs to cellular response terms

DOS has started to do this. What's the syntax, and should we look into filling all gaps.

Follow-up on Design Patterns

Next steps

Update on status and plan for Synapse-related GO terms

Timeline given to Broad showed first-pass ontology terms released in November
