You could always create drafts for everything automatically using the texidoc fields, e.g. convert e.g. test/mensural-note-heads.ly into an item with title like "[todo] Ancient Mensural Note Heads" and text "Mensural notes may also have note heads.", and do this preliminary conversion for test/*ly. This could simplify a lot for those who are going to work with the transition. Also, bug reports are a bit different from other snippets: 1. They should somehow be separated from the others (in general they show you what not to do, rather than what to do, so usually you don't want to find them). 2. They need some additional fields: Which version it was reported in, the bug's current status, etc. 3. They are in general not editable, instead they are re-generated sometimes from the bug cvs. From my point of view, (3) is most important: It shouldn't be possible to post bug reports to LSR, if this could mean that some reports wouldn't reach me. Instead everything should go through the mailing lists.
