Exactly my point.

It is just a XSL to transform from SF's xml to LP's xml. I will surely
release it to public. I couldn't find anyone on #launchpad channel who
would at least initiate the process of importing the bugs so I decided
that I will at least carry out data conversion part. This way we also
have more control on what data we import and how the conversion
happens.
