@Vladimir: Just to clarify, my tool is not an automated mirror that is synchronizing changes between the two systems. Its a one-time tool to do an initial import for the GitHub issues into JIRA. After that, we have to use JIRA for Optiq.
I think there is no way around using JIRA as a issue-tracker. Our project is using the ASF-GitHub integration described here: https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/improved_integration_between_apache_and Other projects such as Spark or Mahout are also using that integration. It is a step into the right direction, because you can use the nice GitHub pull request feature (including line-wise comments) in combination with JIRA. You'll have a GitHub mirror of your Apache Git repository like this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-flink All pull requests and comments trigger an email to the dev@ list. If the pull request contains a JIRA id (like FLINK-123), the bot will add a comment into the respective issue. I would recommend using that setup. I have no experience regarding Review board. But it seems that every developer has to install the "rbt" tool. I'm trying to do the import into JIRA today.
