That's because we actually decided not to do a full transition of all bugs (you mention the huge number yourself - many of them are are likely not valid anymore).

A "Migration Game" is currently in the works that aims to motivate original reporters and other interested parties to re-test with current versions and re-file bugs that are still reproducible (more on that will be made public once it's officially launched).

Apart from that everybody is welcome to migrate bugs on their own schedule (e.g. bugs reported or affecting oneself).

There's no official decision yet what will happen with the rest of the bugs (some are still optimistic all of them could be migrated manually) but the most likely cases a) they're left for dead; b) they're closed; c) the whole tracker will be closed eventually.

Oh, that was not my intention. The idea was mainly to give you the possibility to set milestones and/or close bugs that also affect Ubuntu and that you already watch anyway (i.e. to avoid having to ask somebody else to do it like above).
