Me too!

Perhaps Bugzilla get stay up temporarily during the transition period,
read-only to users but perhaps writeable to say the dlang bot, so that
when github issues get closed Bugzilla can be updated too? It would be
annoying to track otherwise.  I have several projects with version()'d
workarounds named like `version(bug12345)`; when the bugzilla issue is
closed I can search for these and disable them.  But after the GH
migration issue numbers will change, and this makes it hard to track
what's fixed.
