Yes, I agree that one does works against the other.  I'm thinking that
the migration to jira will require a large amount of work in one go,
which I cannot pull off at the moment.  Going down that path is a
risk: we might start the work on the migration, and not finish it.
This way, we might end up with having spent the time and effort, and
getting no bug tracker integration.  It's about the risk, and I'm
personally inclined going the safer path.

I would not mind it if someone else spearheaded the jira migration.
The things to do would be: 1. set up an instance of jira, 2. migrate
the data (is there a tool for such migration?), 3. tackle the problem
of existing links to mantis bugs, they shouldn't return 404 errors, 4.
integrate with the buildfarm database.  It's probably not a one
evening kind of effort.  How much time would the migration take, do
you think?
