Hi Everyone,

tl;dr: I have a partial migration up and running (~105 / 8588 bugs) and I
think my migration script is "complete" -- please test.  Also, please let
me know if you know of any bugs that use the see_also field.

Long Version:

As you all know, we use Gnome's bugzilla instance, and they are
transitioning to gitlab (soon, like by June).  Since we only used Gnome
infrastructure for BZ and nothing else, we decied to migrate to our own BZ
instance.  Part of this migration is moving the bug data from Gnome's BZ
to our own.  To that end I've been working on a script using
Bugzilla::Migrate and the JSON RPC to pull the data from GnomeBZ and then
migrate it into our instance.

At this point in time I *BELIEVE* I am migrating all the data we can get. 
I think we're ready for the next stage of testing, which is making sure
the data has been migrated correctly, nothing is missing (from the
migrated data), and that the BZ instance is, effectively "configured".

To that end, please check the bugs that I've imported.  They are early in
the sequence (numerically), but three out-of-sequence bugs I pulled in for
dependencies and one for attachment testing from early on.   Let me know
if you need some specific bug #s to search for.

One thing my data does NOT have is a bug with anytihng in the see_also
data.  Does anyone know of any bugs that use that field?

A quite note on user accounts:  Users are created with crandom passwords. 
If you made any comments/changes/etc to a bug then you have an account,
and should be able to ask for a password reset.  I would ask that right
now we make this a read-only test.  We can do write tests soon.

Also note that I will be blowing away the database regularly as we
continue testing, so if you do reset your password, it will likely be
resert again out from under you in the not too distant future.

Thanks for testing.  If you find any issues please let me know.  Also let
me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
