Yes, rules are helpful ;) Nathanael's triage seems the best approach to me, because it is easier to work on bugs when they are not mixed with unrelated stuff. But my situation is pretty trivial because I am only interested in XKB stuff, so the transition only meant to reassign all xlibs bugs to xkb-data, this is of course different from the situation here. Moreover old packages can be easily found in bug history, and maybe usertags could provide a view of bugs as they appeared before they were reassigned?
