Hi,

I have used Jira a little as a bug submitter, but have no experience
of it as an admin (e.g. what benefits if any it might bring us).

I have never looked at Redmine.

Right now the only bug tracker I'd be curious to try is that
built into github, since we (and also BioPerl, BioSQL, and
BioRuby) are using them for our primary repository hosting.
This could allow things like linking bugs to commits etc.

However, I'm happy enough with bugzilla not to feel any great
need to migrate to something else. It may not look slick, but
it is quite functional.

P.S. The OBF bugzilla has just over 3000 bug reports in it
(most closed anyway) so a complete transfer may be
possible (depending on where we wanted to move it too
of course).
