Do people really think it's reasonable to use non-Free tools to develop
git? That seems surprising to me.
Maybe not, and if that is the case I am more than happy to let this die.
I won't speculate how big or small part of the Git community you would be
repelling by using a closed/commertial offering. It may not be such a big
deal, or it may be. I simply do not know.
But we will never find out until we try. The same thing can be said for
the usefulness of having a bug tracker and feasibility of keeping it
reasonably clean and useful over time with volunteer effort. I commend
you for finally stepping up and biting the bullet to start an experiment.
One request I may have is to give read/browse-only access to unregistered
users without any account (I hate having to maintain credentials to random
websites, and I imagine so do many other people), but I am not the target
audience, so please do not bend backwards to implement such if it is too
much trouble with the system.
Thanks.

Neither do I - let's find out!

I have been meaning to get this going for a few months now, the latest
thread kickstarted me again.

I have given browse access by default to Anyone (does not require
log-in). JIRA is highly customisable, so most requests are typically
feasible.
