I didn't dive into the details with the webmaster (yet) - he simply offered
archiving our bugzilla or continuing to use bugzilla - no migration
mentioned but I wouldn't want a full migration anyway, there is too much
old irrelevant stuff in there. I haven't spoken to him about possible
forwarding options either. If I could coordinate 'open bugzillas updated in
the last 1-2 years' or something like that for a migration, I'd possibly
try that.

My current plan (obviously the laziest option) is just to continue with
both and gradually folks will stop using bugzilla, it doesn't get a ton of
traffic anyway. Github issues are the future from my point of view. The
README on the project should indicate that and anywhere else I can mention
it should also get updated to indicate that.

cheers,
Andy
