llvm dev - Nov 2021 - IMPORTANT: LLVM Bugzilla migration

Well... you'd assume that there is a way of doing this. But apparently
there is no :) There is a single switch to turn issues on and off, so
it is not possible to "hide" issues but still work on them. And at
some stage we will need to enable them in order to do some migration
steps. The only way to "protect" the issues is to limit the access to
the repo, but I doubt we can do this. Nothing bad will happen, frankly
speaking, the result will be a bit inaccurate though.

Anton, I have an idea. Github lets you create an issue template, so that
when people try to submit a new one, it comes pre-filled with some meta
information.

We could fill up a template saying "Please don't create an issue now,
as
we're migrating the system". It's not fool-proof, but it does reach
the
right people if they're not following this thread...
