Re: Project Management update.

In a few minutes I am going to begin importing the Content component bugs
from Bugzilla over to the new system. The way imports are going to work is
I will import and bring over the initial description of an issue. If there
are any other comments, I am going to do my best to bring the content from
them over as well (on some that may have a lot of conversation, we will
see. But I think most of those are resolved now.) As the issues are ported
over, I am going to close them as "RESOLVED" and "MOVED" while also linking
over to the new issue in our project management system.

So, to anyone who is signed up for the bugzilla mailing list, get ready for
inbox spamming! ;P
