Following this thread, I wonder if if might not work well to combine the move to Jira with the so called "bug amnesty"? You'd e-mail everyone with an open bug that it was being moved to the new system and if they where still interested in it they should re-open it in the new system. You'd have to give them the link or number to find it in the new system, but by re-opening it you'd get what ever e-mail was given on the re-opened bug (force them to enter one perhaps?) and the users would have the new number (and be exposed to the new system). One mass e-mailing (for conversion and amnesty) instead of two (one for conversion and one for amnesty). BTW personally; "bug amnesty" sounds strange, I don't think it really conveys what you are trying to achieve... -- Peter Hunsberger
