It wasn't really automatic as such. I used a few scripts that I saved
in case we needed to use them again, but there was also quite a bit of
manual massage of the data required in between those script runs.
There are a few minor incompatibilities, for example the wiki allows
you to put links to the mailing list archives anywhere in a review or
comment with {{messageLink}} but the app has the message-id as a
separate field. I like the way the data is laid out in the app
better, but it makes it difficult to migrate comments with multiple
{{messageLinks}} in them.
Short answer: I could bring across the old commitfests but it would
take a couple hours at best per commitfest and result in little bits
of data loss here and there. I think we might be better off just
leaving the closed commitfests up on the wiki, and putting a notice on
the app saying "commitfests prior to July 2009 can be found at
wiki.postgresql.org".
Cheers,
BJ
