Hehe, I thought Olav's email was one of the funniest I've read in a while. I busted up laughing. :) Olav has been kicking butt putting *tons* of his time (as a volunteer) into getting Evolution bugs and several related products from bugzilla.ximian.com to bugzilla.gnome.org (as well as fixing several other longstanding bugzilla bugs). To maintain their sanity, it was easiest just to add 200000 to all ximian bug numbers so that any of their existing documents, ChangeLogs, TODOs, etc. could easily be used to still find the appropriate bugs. So, we just reserved all the 200000-299999 range for Ximian bugs. As a side-effect, this means that new bugs after the import will start at 300000. The announcement was about the downtime needed for this Ximian bug import, written in a rather hilarious way.
