You could also close bug acceptance on the launchpad side, and move them
to GNOME bugzilla when you have few enough to do it by hand.

The desktop-neutral parts could probably move to fd.o if that's a
concern.

The point is that if you want zeitgeist in the GNOME desktop, it needs
to use GNOME infrastructure. "Because we like our workflow" isn't a good
enough reason to use 3rd-party providers (which I'm sure is a fine one).
The project might as well be on sourceforge, or google code, it wouldn't
change that problem.
