Interesting. Maven never moved their jira to apache's jira (or since maven
did this in 2003, and it looks like issues.apache.org/jira/ showed up in
2004 so they may have been grandfathered) . It still lives on Codehaus, has
been there for the past year and seems to be actively continuing along that
path.  (for maven 2.x and maven 3.x).  Was this attempt to move something
that happened recently or a long time ago?

I'm not advocating for it, but would that be an option for us?  (I
personally don't like it).

Searching for more examples... before I go to infra...

The Maven community has talked about moving to the Apache Jira for a while. However, the ASF Jira was an older version than the one at codehaus so moving couldn't happen. Recently they have both been brought up to the same version so the discussion came up again. Really, they would prefer to move but the amount of work involved for such a large project may not make it practical.
