this would probably help. But there are some more things to regard 
("problems"?) when migrating to Github. One additional drawback is that 
you can't directly attach files to an issue. I found some links today 
that may give more food for thought:

http://numpy-discussion.10968.n7.nabble.com/Migrating-issues-to-GitHub-td31124.html 



Overall I still see that we'd lose a lot of information and 
functionality, but if we come to the conclusion that we don't actually 
need those...it'll be fine with me. ;)
I just don't want people to scream "bloody murder" afterwards and having 
to do another migration to fix things. ;)

Best regards,

Dirk
