I think it makes sense to migrate the open tickets. Users go to the
trouble of reporting problems and they should all be investigated (at
some stage).

To my mind, there is an issued about what to do about closed tickets.
It's convenient to not have to search for bu reports in two different
places when trying to search for the history of a bug. So I think there
may also be justification for migtating the closed tickets.

It all comes down to how difficult the migration process is.
