This is not uncommon for the current-in-contrib gnats2bz.pl. The
interesting  part being, of course, that what i use (my rewrite+additions of
gnats2bz.pl) and am rewriting in python, does so much more than
the included script, so much faster.
What you see at gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla, including attachments,
seperated comments from followup emails, duplicate marking, bug activity,
keywords, etc, are all a result of the converter script, not human
intervention.

I should have a version to post to bugzilla.mozilla.org (I believe there
is a bug for a very old version of my improved gnats2bz.pl script on
bugzilla.mozilla.org, which i'll just attach the python one to)

We don't either.
