Or migrate first omitting all links in the descriptions, and afterwards
update all descriptions with links.

One could first create all issues with a stock description, but if that
doesn't trigger spam filters I don't know what will.  So using the
original descriptions in the first pass with links removed...

Actually possibly even with links intact.  As long as one _can_ resubmit
the descriptions afterwards, there should be no problem.
