[Openmp-dev] [llvm-dev] Update on Bugzilla migration

[Philip Reames via Openmp-dev]

I've raised this point once before, but I think it's time to raise it again.

I believe we should drop the goal of keeping bug numbers in sync between 
github and the legacy llvm bug database.  We do need a one-to-one 
mapping, but the numbers can be distinct.  This requires a bit of extra 
ugliness in terms of needing to add a comment to every bug (both copies) 
with a link to the other, but this is a minimal badness, and stops 
mattering fairly quickly after the transition

Continuing to hold back the transition of new bugs to github is causing 
real immediate harm.  I strongly believe we are better off moving now 
with an imperfect system than waiting any longer.
