I don't know why we need to resurrect old bugs, and I'm not sure why the
git history wouldn't indicate why a specific bit of code was added.

I don't have a bugzilla database back up any longer. We haven't had a
bugzilla for about 2 years. I don't know where we would have a bugzilla
database, I'm afraid.

It was dropped because of the difficulty of maintenance. It was often
non-trivial to keep up to date. Switching to a redmine install was far
easier to keep updated. Back when chiliproject was chosen, redmine was
stale and stagnant, and the new development happened in chiliproject.
That has obviously changed.

Sorry, I don't have a database dump from over two years ago.
