Let me just clarify a point here... The bugzilla migration process was
*very* hard.

All those years waiting for the majority of people in the community were
actually spent by Anton K painstakingly solving every issue that was raised.

The number of back and forth emails between Anton and Github people and the
level of support he got from them is appalling.

Most people probably had forgotten about it all when Anton finally broke
through and saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

So, while I agree with everything else you said above and below, the
bugzilla migration wasn't quite like the others.

What that means to the Phab->PR move is left as an exercise to the reader...
