There's two parts to merging from one JIRA to another.  The configuration and the issues.

Botron's Configuration Manager will do the horribly complex part for you - the configuration (I once gave an estimate of 4 weeks for merging a configuration set manually that CM can do in a couple of hours).

The issues are very simple if you use project import.  But, you have to have the configuration in place so you can import the issues into the pre-configured setup.

If you don't want to use "project import", then you're in a world of pain - you're going to need to do the issues with a CSV import, plus lots of changes afterwards, or botching vast amounts of SQL (and deperately hoping you get every single item correct), merging huge swathes of XML, or writing scripts and/or add-ons to do everything that project import already does.
