so people can add new bug reports?
if so what will happen when you again get access to the old db? can it be
merged in at all?
It is VERY important that issue numbers do not change from what they where
before, besides the confusion, any reply to an old issue via mail/ML will
let hell loose if the issue numbers changed ..

IMO the most important thing now is to avoid further damage. And i do not
think roundup can easyily be put back online before all past data has
been included be that via getting access to the db or via manually reentering
issues

Let me reiterate, if you take a 10 day old db and let people work with that
it will be impossible to merge the old issues because their issue numbers will
be already used by others, the ML, mphq/incoming, ... will turn to chaos

For the love of all that is holy, and some that is not, don't do that.
