I was thinking this too, actually. It'd allow for a more graceful transition period from one system to another. It'd also help keep cross-links (from comments, etc.) in the old issues reference proper targets. And I don't see many disadvantages - I imagine that folks who wish to revisit old(er) open Jira issues and prefer GH can close the jira ticket as a duplicate and open a new corresponding GH issue. Wouldn't this be easier (for you as well)? The key change would be procedural -- allow pull requests and github issues as first-class "change" tickets. D. >
