Yes! I worked through the update stream to find every single update. 
After that I tried to assign them to the right set of mantis reports.
For every update number in squeak I opened a ticket and included the
information about the mantis tickets as well. 

I started to change every subject line to include the mantis bug
number(s). But this far I have only added this to one third of the
tickets. But I'll do the rest in the near future.
