Two more things I've noticed while spot-checking:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-bugzilla-archive/issues/36617
- Bugzilla lets you attach file attachments; GitHub doesn't. Attachments
are not preserved by the migration.
- Bugzilla comments are numbered, so people sometimes say e.g. "see comment
16"; GitHub comments are not numbered. The migration script might consider
automagically turning these references into hyperlinks similar to how
Bugzilla does it.

Attachments are not preserved by the migration.
You are wrong again. Attachments are preserved:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-bugzilla-archive/issues/36617#issuecomment-980994333
Will you please next time check your claims more carefully?

It cannot. The URL is not known before the issue is on GitHub as the
URL is assigned by GitHub.
