Given the discussion, I now seriously doubt that this would be beneficial over 
the long-term to the project.

Not because the proposal is a bad idea on its own (it's not), but based on the 
answers so far, it looks to me like some want Jira gone completely, and want to 
use this proposal as a back door to get rid of issues.j.o without an adequate 
replacement in the name of "unifying" where issues are tracked. This isn't even 
perhaps an individual contributor's position, but between "I want GH issues / I 
don't want Jira" and "Multiple issue trackers are bad", this is where we seem 
to be heading.

If we go with this approach and similar ones (for example the better plugin 
metadata that allows having an issue tracker link directly in Jenkins plugin 
manager), we need to be committed to continue having different issue trackers 
for a while. Making it easier for users who maintainers want to use GH issues 
shouldn't mean we'll ignore others' preference for Jira.

And if Jira presents significant challenges e.g. to the infra team, which it 
looks like, I'd be happy to have a separate, open discussion about the 
continued use of Jira. I resist not because I love it so much (I don't), but 
because I use it a lot and I simply don't see how my use cases translate 
elsewhere (GH issues and to a degree Jira Cloud) -- some of which are pretty 
core to my role as security officer (for example the case from my email from 
yesterday). But that conversation should be based on a properly defined IEP/JEP 
looking at all aspects of such a transition, rather than a disjointed set of 
messages across several channels/threads.
