I could take a crack at it, although if you're going to do that, why
not move the issue tracking to Github as well and take advantage of
the integration?

The advantages (automatic links*, and closing issues with commit 
messages) aren't that great compared to the disadvantages 
(minimalistic featureset, splitting bug reports between two 
sites, issue number collisions and other migration woes).

*: I wrote a UserScript to make Bugzilla issue numbers clickable

Because we're pretty entrenched with Bugzilla.

Bugzilla is *much* nicer.

Github's issue tracking, while slick, is still fairly primitive.  It
doesn't support attachments, for instance.

That kills it right there.

Github has some ability to integrate with external bugzilla's too.  Adding
notes to bugs when they're mentioned in pull
requests.  Possibly even closing them when pull requests are closed.  It's been
a while since I read about it and I
haven't yet played with it myself.  I need to upgrade to a newer version of
bugzilla first.  I've had it on my low
priority todo list for a while.

Does github's bug tracker have an export data feature?  ie, the ability to make
backups and/or move the data to another
system?  For the git repository itself it's trivial and inherent in git itself.
 I'm reluctant to house project critical
data in a system that we don't have good control over.  Websites come and go
and we need to remain viable belong their
lifespans.

Last time I looked I didn't see an import feature either.  We've got TONS of
open bugs already and there's no way I want
to split our database across multiple systems.

My 2 cents,
Brad

I've been planning on converting all of mine, but I haven't had bandwidth to do
so this fall.
