I have gone through the list of tickets that we had in trac and tried to 
figure out what to do with them. The following is my suggestion on how 
to migrate them but I would appreciate feedback on this, especially on 
some of the tickets that I'm not sure about.

I've divided the tickets into 6 groups:
1) Tickets that have been fixed since trac was closed
2) Tickets I personally know are bugs
3) Bugs that I cannot confirm and/or don't have enough information on to 
understand - Please help me with these!!
4) Enhancements that are realistic to be implemented
5) Enhancements that will take more time and/or effort but might be 
worth remembering
6) Tickets that should probably just be forgotten

Suggested actions:
Group 2 and (partially) group 3 needs to be moved to some new ticket 
system. I will attempt to add them as Issues in github unless anyone has 
a better suggestion.
Group 4 and group 5 will be listed on an enhancement page on 
www.licq.org. (Probably the split between these two groups will not be 
kept.)
Group 1 and group 6 won't be migrated.

Below is a list of the tickets as I've grouped them and my comments on 
them. Please let me know if there are other opinions on the groupings.
(Some descriptions are a bit vague, full tickets are available in the 
trac.sql dump Jon posted to licq-dev in May or if needed in discussions 
I can post more details for specific tickets.)

##### Group 1 - Fixed tickets #####
Unless anyone can prove these aren't fixed, I consider them closed.

	=> Fixed with dc66d84e0cafa871a730ba7a0e468a4a00cfb462

	=> Fixed in 1.3.4 RC3 according to comments

messages
1682 [icq] Problem with charset
1726 [icq] AOL's ICQ 7.2 can't show messages with national symbols 
(Russian, for example)
	=> These three were probably fixed with 3b71b8c, 599f94f, ca13659 and 
bb6b1ae

	=> Fixed with 8256c04cfd2eb98b31a79f2b733892240f13aaac


##### Group 2 - Definitely bugs #####
I know these are existing problems (or at least was last time I updated 
these tickets).

597a [message] History can be saved in many different encodings

1447 [icq] Invisible contact status is not updated after he/she checks 
my auto response

	=> Socket monitor thread is locked while waiting for GPG passphrase 
input to be complete

1654 [icq] All contacts become offline after reconnect

1678 [icq] Must go Offline to drop Free For Chat status
	=> This looks like a problem at the server side and at least Pidgin and 
Miranda are also affected

1679 [icq] Some offline messages have a wrong timestamp
	=> Might be related to http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/1761


##### Group 3 - Possibly bugs #####
These I cannot confirm myself. Please reply if you know any of these to 
be fixed or can confirm that the fault exists. For those I don't get any 
replys to I will have to migrate anyway.

	=> Haven't seen this in a while so not sure if it's still a bug

600 [gui] Popup when contact has birthday

642 [console] Show SSL status for contacts

##### Group 5 - Low-prio enhancements #####
Enhancements that will require more work but might still be possible to do

only work in some cases

680 [gui] Picture thumbnails in contact list

818a [secure] Enforce gpg signing and verification

drop and let fifo/rms be enough

1604 [daemon] Add support for UPnP

1643 [daemon] Option to force local groups to be same as server groups


##### Group 6 - Other #####
These are tickets I want to just forget when migrating, let me know if 
you think otherwise
