JIRA can be deployed as a WAR file and run on other App Servers. I don't 
think there's a constraint to run on someone's else servers in order to 
work.

When mapping the features of the 2 systems to our requirements, I 
compared the latest versions (Bugzilla: 4.0, 4.1.1 and JIRA 4.3). The 
Bugzilla instance that we have is old (3.2.9); therefore, it does not 
have all features we need [1]. There are a lot of new enhancements in 
the WebServices and hook area since Bugzilla 4.0 which are listed in our 
requirements. I'd imagine if we choose Bugzilla, we won't be using the 
same instance that is running. Therefore, reusing the same instances 
isn't a big incentive from my perspective.

Just a reference: the Lucene project on ASF uses JIRA also[2].
