Hi all! I don't know if such a tool already exists or if it's needed at all, but I wrote the same :)
Basically it's a simple script[1] to check the status of bugs filed to ask for migration from transitional package to "real" new one. It has a simple config file[2] where the information about transitional package name, replacement package name and CSV bugs list are stored. The script takes that config file, parses it to get the list of packages/bugs to check and start querying bts to gather bugs status: if all bugs for a given package are closed (after a little manual check, e.g. no rdepends are left for sure) we can ask for transitional package removal. It's currently very simple, but if you feel it's something interesting (even to integrate into qa arch, if an html recap page is created) I'll give it a look to enhance it, following your suggestions and the TODO list already in the script. I wrote this since one of my intents for squeeze is to "attack" the transitional packages list to remove them, keeping tracks of the progress.
