Technically this is possible, with the following limitations:

- bug numbers will change (to avoid conflict with existing bugs)

- posters/submitters/assignees need to be set to anonymous (as we
  can't fake users' history); you may include this information in the
  body of the comment though

That's not something we do often, so suggestions welcome.


The database structure can be seen here if you want to work on
providing a dump:
