It's hard to tell what will require more work, switching to jira or
taming mantis.  I'm personally not inclined to spearhead the jira
migration right now (although I would not mind another person doing
that).  In my experience it's a good idea to make small, effective
steps.  For example, we could start with a script that doesn't write
to mantis, but queries both systems and tells you the difference; what
to do in mantis to bring it to the state that matches the catalog.
This shouldn't be that hard, and is already a step in the right
direction.
