Hi,
I'd like to have a go at the bug tracker migration task:

Excellent, saves me the trouble. :)
Could someone send me a copy of the relevant PmWiki data files? I gather
the bug tracker is an extension to PmWiki.
Indeed. I tarred up the bug files [1].
I see that Oliver Heard did a substantial amount of work on this task a
bit over a year ago. Oliver's program appears to screen-scrape the web
interface for the bug tracker. I wondered if perhaps it might be easier
to work directly from the PmWiki data files.

You might be interested in the code we used to migrate from PmWiki to
MoinMoin [2]. It can generate intermediate XML from PmWiki data files.
Karl had some discussion with the folks from Savannah and it sounds like
they'd be comfortable to import the data formatted as MySQL inserts,
which sounds good to me:

Although Slyvian from Savannah said that the
posters/submitters/assignees will need to be set to anonymous, I'm sure
I can manually translate the users for the main contributors.
Nice. It would be great if you could keep the metadata of the others in
some structured form in the Savannah comments.
