We don't have to import closed issues because they are going to stay
in the SF site for historical reasons, correct?  I believe ChangeLog
also points to SF bug numbers. So it may be better to leave
closed/pending issues at SF.net and only port open issues to LP.

BTW, Onkar - so you're writing a script to convert the data? Perhaps
you should consider releasing it for other's benefit too.
