Description

I ran into an issue with kafka-patch-review.py as a result of a change in parameters for the JIRA() object between jira-python 0.28 and 0.29. A quick fix is to make parameters more explicit.

As a side note, there is a separate bug affecting the review tool, but I'm not sure it's fixable without modifying the jira-python source (https://bitbucket.org/bspeakmon/jira-python/issue/122/clientissue-function-needs-param-removal)

It seems the answer is that people should not use jira-python 0.29 yet, since it's a little broken.
