Two more things I've noticed while spot-checking:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-bugzilla-archive/issues/36617
- Bugzilla lets you attach file attachments; GitHub doesn't. Attachments
are not preserved by the migration.
- Bugzilla comments are numbered, so people sometimes say e.g. "see comment
16"; GitHub comments are not numbered. The migration script might consider
automagically turning these references into hyperlinks similar to how
Bugzilla does it.
