Second, by creating new lists, you'd lose the archives of everything that's been discussed, which seems like it would be a huge loss. > Moving over the history of the bug tracker DB is important.

I've been pushing for the creation of a project on pgfoundry for the migration, so that stuff can get posted and people can help. If there is such a script then I suspect we might actually be close to being able to seamlessly migrate projects. There shouldn't be any issue with moving mailing lists, SVN exists (and worst-case a seperate install of viewcvs could be setup until there's native gforge support for SVN), and I believe everything else is in the database. -- Jim C.
