It is nice for the bugsquad to have all the bugs in one place, since it is a major PITA to move between bugzillas. It's also useful for when people evolution bugs against acme (shrug). I have seen scripts related to this in cvs. It's not _too_ hard, but a bit fiddly. I'd recommend ensuring that inter-bugzilla links and attachments keep working before doing any sort of transfer. -- Andrew Sobala <aes gnome org>
