Pulp

Personally, when I am working on a plugin change that requires a change in pulpcore, I always file an issue against pulpcore. This helps track changes in redmine and associates these changes with milestones. Also, it forces me to create a changelog entry so that other plugin authors are aware of the change.

If we do decide to disable the project check for ref issues, then we'll also have to update changelog check that checks that all commits (besides [noissue] ones) have changelog entries. We could disable this check for ref issues. However, we should still validate that if someone adds a changelog that it still matches the project as the release code validates changelog issues are associated with the project milestone. This would make the validation more complex but it's doable.
