Thanks, should be fixed now!

Unfortunately, no, that's not possible. However, I have added an HTML comment around the instructions. I hope that helps.

Gone now too, thank you! I wonder how you identified them? I did a SQL select for duplicate summaries, so I missed this one.

Hmmm, I seem to have completely misunderstood what you were trying to say. Did you mean that instead of copying the timeline trail, I could reconstruct PRs from merged branches for issues that lead to merges?

This is definitely less hopeless than assessing tickets with patches. Unfortunately, the data is still far too messy to make it a largely automated process. I also don't see much benefit in doing so...

Well, I think the main issues have been identified. I think I will start the migration by making Trac tickets read-only in the next few days, pending final feedback from Andrew.
