Well, I would like to have that too, but I'd like to move to GH and consolidate our web presence even more. I see no straightforward way to maintain the complex mix of interlinkages in the history, and I know that once we move those interlinkages will still be there for everything going forward. My compromise, which is in the RFC is scraping the tickets so that it's possible to completely shut down the trac instance while still retaining the historical ticket contents, if not the perfect interlinkage.
