Agreed. Jira and newer versions of bugzilla are similar in that sense,
although Jira's user-customizable dashboard seems to make better use of it.
Jira also has far more powerful permission schemes. The permission schemes
can be important. For example, it allows selective delegation of
administrative control, and allows certain projects to be secured against
public access.
There are a whole raft of features that make Jira a better platform, so for
those projects that want to take advantage of it, it is available.
I have no problem with seeing bugzilla updated. I have asked about this on
and off every few months for at least a year; as recently as last week. But
I can pretty much tell you that this is not going to happen, at least on the
current hardware.

Putting aside as irrelevant the fact that it seems that the more time anyone
spent working on it, the more intensely that they disliked it, the short
version of the story is that no one wants to risk updating the various bits
(not just BZ, but the custom scripts, Perl, CPAN modules, etc.), on our
Solaris 8 deployment. However, when we move to a new issues server, the
opportunity could be there to migrate safely and test the new deployment
without risking the existing infrastructure.

How much effort is involved in doing that with bugzilla? It could be
potentially useful, either for projects staying in bugzilla or when
migrating them to Jira.
On a related topic, a number of the 26K users in our database have multiple
identities because the e-mail address is the login identity. I understand
that more recent versions of bugzilla have a user option to change that, but
I don't know if there is a feature for merging accounts.
