Emmanuel,
Thanks for all of your help with release management for various commons components, and taking the time to make sure that various sites are maintained and updated. And now you've stepped up to the plate to volunteer to upgrade our Bugzilla installation. If you are a committer, join the infrastructure list and spend your free time helping to upgrade Bugzilla.
Now, If you are not going to join to the infrastructure@ list. Take the time necessary to befriend Pier and gain his trust. Take the necesary time to upgrade Bugzilla to the version you've mentioned. Migrate all current projects that use Bugzilla to the new version. Keep an eye on the installation when it needs to migrate to a new box, etc. If these are things you are not committed to doing, get out of the way.
When you say "I'm not empowered to maintain the system", sure you are, this is another case of "I'm a committer at the ASF, and I'm assuming that other people take care of daily operations". Other people have been taking care of daily operations, and nothing has been stopping you from doing the same.

Sure, we could continue to use Bugzilla, but version numbers are not isolated for Commons Components, and, frankly, I don't see a lot of people knocking down the door here to help out.
JIRA just like Bugzilla doesn't support per component version numbers, that doesn't make sense. The issue is how Bugzilla is used at Apache, all commons components are under the same "Jakarta Commons" products but they should be under their own product to manage their version numbers. It's the way JIRA is structured at codehaus :
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa
In the recent versions of Bugzilla projects can be grouped, see the project list for Mozilla :
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi
compared to the current project list at Apache :
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
That would allow the grouping of Jakarta Commons projects instead of using a unique project.
I'm sure there are people willing to help, and I'd like to help, but I'm not empowered to maintain the system.
