The incubation proposal only mentions "Issue Tracking" as required resource,
and typically new podlings choose Jira over Bugzilla.
I'm not at infra and I don't know which one is preferred from ASF/infra POV, but
I think only a handful of ASF projects nowadays still use Bugzilla.
However the need to migrate or preserve existing issues is evident, and
for that using Bugzilla @ASF might be more practical.
Or maybe migrate and 'archive' the exiting issues to a frozen Bugzilla
instance while starting 'fresh' at the ASF using Jira is an option?
Personally I never enjoyed working with Bugzilla and from a usability POV
I'd choose Jira any time, but this is clearly something for the project
to further discuss and decide about.
I see 3 options:
a) only use Bugzilla, drop the new Jira NETBEANS project
b) only use JIRA, try to migrate/preserve existing Bugzilla issues to Jira
(if feasible, need help/confirmation from infra)
c) preserve and archive existing Bugzilla issues at ASF, use Jira from now on
(possibly with the wish to still refer/link to archived Bugzilla issues)

Hi Emilian
Is far I know, we have had the discussion to move to Jira at the
OpenOffice project. But the problem was the import of the old data.
Anyway, we have now a Jira space at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS/ .Maybe it's not bad,
to have something for the transistance. I propose to use the old
Issuetracker for all Program related stuff, and use the Jira instance
for all the moving work.

I don't care what we use in the future but we have to migrate or preserve
the existing Bugzilla issues since they have a lot of historical context
and technical discussions in them.
Indeed, the simplest solution is a dedicated Bugzilla instance like
OpenOffice.

Hi at all
I'm a bit confused. Bertrand requested a JIRA space for NetBeans.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-12704 .
I'm a bit surprised. I believed that NetBeans will get there own
Bugzilla instance like Apache OpenOffice. The Proposal say nothing
about the Issue Tracking Software. So what do you think.
