I gather that all bugs from sourceforge have now been migrated to
MediaZilla. However, sourceforge stores feature requests in a seperate
"RFE" tracker, and these *haven't* been migrated.
I presume the reason for this is that there are many more
unnecessary/out-dated RFEs than there were unnecessary/out-dated bugs.
But since few people have the rights to do more than add a comment to
them on sourceforge, this will never change (they won't be closed);
and meanwhile, existing discussions are unavailable to be searched on
the new DB. Searching both, and then importing by hand to
cross-reference, is laborious to say the least.
I therefore suggest/request that whoever ran the bot to import the
bugs (Timwi, was it?) do so for the RFEs - perhaps labelling them with
a keyword such as "sf-import". Someone can then look through these
(yes, I'm volunteering) and make sure they are labelled appropriately,
close any that are out-dated or invalid anyway, etc.
