Speaking as someone who uses Jira for commericial work, I'm -1 on them.
I simply don't find Jira to be superior to OSS BT systems, and inferior
in several ways (like that you can't have more than one person assigned
to a bug). And email integration for Jira is nonexistant.

When we discussed this 8 years ago, Debian said debbugs wasn't ready for
anyone else to use. Has that changed?
