I would like to maintain our current practice that these are *always* forwarded
to dev, instead of it being a separate mailing list.

As noted in other messages in this thread, we need an announcements list too.

This would be on the Apache infrastructure, right?

It would ultimately need to include all of the committers (not just PMC
members), in order for CVS commits to actually work.

This can certainly be a starting point.  We should consider whether it's worth
separating subprojects into their own repositories for ease of management
purposes (but I agree with your other comments that commit karma would still be
to all subprojects, no matter how this decision comes out).

Given the amount of work this would involve, and assuming we can import our CVS
log history somehow, this would be OK with me; but seems like something we
could also defer to later after the dust settles.

I'm OK with either Jira or Bugzilla.  Note that other projects migrating to Jira
have been able to import their bug history, so we wouldn't lose that.
