I know that Jesse Vincent has at least in the past been really
enthusiastic about getting (and perhaps helping) people to write replica
types for SD; this would have the advantage of being a way to actually
work with bugs and move them between systems, not only keep an archive
to put back into the same system. Below is from the web page
http://syncwith.us/sd/using -

"""
SD can sync to external systems as well as itself. Currently, there are
foreign replica types for RT (http://bestpractical.com/rt) and
Hiveminder (http://hiveminder.com/). If you're interested in building a
replica type for your bug tracker, you should get in touch with SD's
developers (see http://syncwith.us/contact).
"""

SD is based on Prophet; there is a great Prophet video (web 2.0 is
sharecropping) at: http://syncwith.us/talks

Prophet's developers hang out on #prophet on irc.freenode.net
