Some experiences with Jira:

 * SF conversions seems to work fine.

 * needs login for every user, even for read.
    * This is just a configuration issue. [[http://issues.apache.org/jira/|The Apache JIRA]] has public read enabled.

 * can do convenient mass edits, for example, I could assign all issues currently assigned to "loewis" to "mloewis".

Bignose:

 According to the [[http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing.jsp|licensing and pricing]] page for Jira, it is non-free software. We can't examine, improve, or commission others to do these things to it. Why are we considering a non-free tracker for Python?

 The [[http://sayspy.blogspot.com/2006/06/request-for-test-trackers-to-get.html|word on the street]]: "We want the best solution possible without being political." Sounds like a minor BitKeeper incident in the making, but then SourceForge isn't entirely run on open source software, either. -- PaulBoddie
