[cfe-dev] Status of Bugzilla Migration

[Anton Korobeynikov via cfe-dev]

Hello Arthur,

> FWIW, "20 hours" or "11 hours" or "three days" is like nothing, compared to what the migration has already been doing. If it only requires taking Bugzilla down for 24 hours to do it, IMO you should just do it already — whatever "it" is.
Well, it's for single sweep. So, if we'd need to do this, say 5 times,
then everything starts to be very interesting.

Not the timestamps, the labels. And note that there is nothing in
general that could be done in GitHub retroactively. At least for us as
I've been told. If this would be possible we'd simply import into an
empty repo, add git repo, add releases (dating them into the past) and
we're done...
