The discussion should have been copied to the dev@ list. Maybe that
isn't setup properly.

There are only a very small number if issues like this. We can always
manually copy content to the mailing list and/or Bugzilla to keep a copy.

Given the general preference for deleting them, my proposal is a
combination of all of the above which is.

Make them read only. Review to ensure we have everything. Copy across
anything we haven't got on list or in Bugzilla to the list/Bugzilla as
appropriate. Then delete them.

Thoughts?
