It does!  :-)  It imports your login.  I believe that the only issue is that
you have to have it reset your password.  But I could be wrong about that,
so we should check.

So it seems that a preference would be for Jira to show the option to enter
an issue, even when not logged in, and then just require a login.

The information is imported (cloned).

Jira has some LDAP support and is trending towards a more complete LDAP
interface.  bugzilla also supports LDAP in a primitive fashion.  It should
be possible to share information amongst applicatoins in some future time
when we are doing more with LDAP.

This is good, but does this mean that the login/password is truely 
shared (password changed one place changes for the other) or just a 
similar login, but separate passwords. The former would be prefereable 
to me, though I can probably just set the password to be the same 
manually as long as there is no regular expiration time on passwords in 
JIRA.

The concerns of others about supporting open source projects like 
Bugzilla not withstanding (which I sympathize with). However I think 
with these changes that would be the only issue, and I'll leave that 
philosophical debate to others.
