https://answers.launchpad.net/malone/+question/106874    Says it all. 

The database *is now usable*, because we have learned that if and when 
the import of the old bugs is done, the import will *add* old bugs to 
the new bugs, not overwrite.

I am currently of the (weak) opinion that the cost to benefit ratio of 
importing the old bugs is now in favor of not importing the old bugs.  I 
have invested a good bit of time in IRC pleading with folks to get it 
done, fine tuning import export prep utilities, only to continually be 
met with excuse after excuse.  So I have given up.

If somebody else wants to baby sit it, they are welcome.  Otherwise if 
it happens it happens, I don't have any more energy for it.

The old bugs are in <src>/Documentation/kicad_export.xml.bz2 and on my 
website in a different form waiting for Deryk to do what he has said he 
would do.
