If your goal is to move it all off your own servers, you could just go
for BitBucket and move to cloud JIRA and tie the two together. Over
there, you can use either Mercurial or Git. BitBucket organizations
can have projects, which have repositories, and that multi-level
organization (unique to BitBucket) would allow for some interesting
opportunities in enabling people to work on different aspects of
ReactOS (application software, core OS code, build stuff, etc.).
