The script used to restore the backups was quite a hack.

Therefore, the following is not restored:
- CC lists
- Bug attachments

However, we do have
- Bug comments (though duplicate in several occasions)
- Bug components, versions and milestones (even those that got defined
and used after the backup was taken)
- Bug ownership, resolution, status, severity, priority
- Bug description (if truncated in some cases though)

If you spot any strange bug / comment owners, those are the ones where I
couldn't figure out the appropriate ID. The accounts are marked as
disabled, so that nobody ought to be getting any unwanted mail.

Note that there are several bugs where we did have some data, but no
initial mail where the bug was created, so that usually product, reporter,
bug description were unknown.

Basically all those "orphaned" bugs can be found in
http://smbugs.isurf.ca/buglist.cgi?emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=adam%40isurf.ca
We'll need to provide them with a good description and sort them into the
appropriate categories once we figure out what they're about.

I hope we can get up to speed a bit again with this...

So Far,
Karsten
