That is good to hear! :) Thanks for your effort regarding this.

Yes I know those issues... ;) It is/was a pitty...

As far as I know, the JIRA/Bugzilla importer has issues as well,
please confer https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55673.
It does e.g. NOT preserve relations between tickets and thus
drops a serious amount of the history too. As I understand from
the buzilla ticket this will not be resolved.

In my oppinion 1 of the 2 problems should be tackeled;
* either keep a static copy of JIRA (may be just the DB along with
  a simple viewer written by us)
* or improve JIRA/Bugzilla importer to a point where it can
  migrate relations between tickets and other stuff as well

Thanks for all your comments! Greetings
