Migrate Bugzilla Issues to github Issue Tracker

Question

I would like to migrate all my Bugzilla issues to an Issue Tracker at github.com (Example) (you get an issue tracker per repository).

1) Are there tools out there?

2) How did you do it?

Thanks for any advices, I will write a summary at the end how I finally did it (hopefully not manually!)

Answer 1

I recently encountered the same problem trying to migrate Bugzilla issues of a W3C project to GitHub, so I ended up

• Writing a RESTful API wrapper, that scrapes the Bugzilla (the W3C bugzilla has the API disabled)
• Writing a hackish CoffeeScript program/script to use that wrapper and create the issues on GitHub.

I hope that my script can be easily modified to fit the purposes of you, too.
