-1 on moving to JIRA. Martin Cooper has indicated there are people in infrastructure are willing to do a bugzilla upgrade. Just because bugzilla's UI is ugly and JIRA's is pretty is not a valid reason to switch to proprietary software in an OSS community.

I can read the Slashdot headlines now: "Apache abandons Bugzilla in favor of proprietary software". IMO, this switch is bad for our community.
