Thanks for taking care of this!

I've done some minor edits to simplify / clarify (among others I tried 
to give a short explanation on why there are two trackers but without 
getting too verbose). Feel free to cross-check and iterate!

I guess we might want to include a link to the guide on how to migrate a 
bug once it's ready in the relevant line? (I think Chris was preparing one?)

As a general note I'm afraid some users were lazy and didn't check 
properly for duplicates before. Having two trackers will likely not make 
that any more probable. Even for everybody else it obviously involves 
additional effort. As I don't see a way to "solve" this (short of nuking 
or completely disregarding the old tracker), I tried at least to change 
the wording a bit to explain that reporters themselves might profit from 
searching for old bugs on Launchpad, too, instead of simply indicating 
that we don't want them to file duplicates even if the reasons would be 
obvious and the request warranted. (Actually I'm starting to realize 
that for these kinds of pages it's more helpful to pick a language that 
tries to explain how filing reports "properly" can be mutually 
advantageous for reporters and project members alike, instead of trying 
to explain from the point of view of either party).
