yes, this is the plan, to migrate all trac tickets to GitHub issues. There
are some technical issues involving issues getting correct (i.e. correctly
mapped to GitHub accounts) authors, hopefully resolved with help of GitHub
support,
but apart from this we are not too far getting the migration done. (the git
tree is there on a github mirror repo, so links to branches will be
pointing there). Attachments will be imported and hosted somewhere, too.

a read-only copy of trac will be around for a while, to make sure it all
went well, but I don't expect a strong need to keep it forever.
