Possibly not quite what you were after, but JIRA integrates almost as well with GitHub/GitHub:Enterprise as it does with Bitbucket/Bitbucket Server.

With GitHub + JIRA you get:

- associated branches, commits, and pull requests displayed on the JIRA issue view

- the ability to search for issues based on whether they have branches, commits, or pull requests associated with them

- the "Release Hub", which tracks issues that have outstanding pull requests, or have code but no pull request

- automatic issue transitions, which transition JIRA issue status based on repository events

It's flexible, but the usual automatic issue transition workflow is:

branch created: issue -> "In Progress"

pull request created: issue -> "In Review"

pull request merged: issue -> "Done"

Which works just as well with GitHub as it does with Bitbucket.

The main thing that Bitbucket + JIRA's integration adds is backlinks from Bitbucket to JIRA. Plus the ability to create branches in your Bitbucket repositories directly from JIRA.

If you're dead set on GitHub over Bitbucket, the best way to get "Atlassian" features is to adopt the Atlassian suite and replace GitHub with Bitbucket.

Disclosure: I worked on JIRA's DVCS integration.
