There must be a way to find issues in jira later based on a bugzilla issue number - there are many links to bugzilla issues floating around, losing them would be a problem.


But the reporter must get to know that the bug has actually been moved to Jira - be it with the same issue number or not. Just adding a common note to bugzilla might lead to nothing: "Now I have to search for my bug in another system? Bah, forget it! I'm to lazy to care." Providing a correct link to the new system directly jumping to the corresponding issue must be the least. Even then many people might be to lazy to care about their bug (new login?, new system they don't know, etc.).

Logins are copied from Bugzilla with the issues they're associated with (which is cool, but that means that if you registered with a different email address from Bugzilla, I'll have to go in and merge the accounts). But for users, that's totally transparent.

Regarding the bugs themselves, I can write a simple script closing all moved bugs with a link to the new bug in Jira as a comment (of course, after the data-transfer is complete)
