I think it would be a good idea to check with Jason and other PyPA volunteers to see if there is anyone else who can handle the moves. I'd prefer we didn't lose the history, since my comments on those issues (and the closed ones, too) often contain key information about use cases and design decisions that may not be available elsewhere, even from my memory. ;-) But, since I'm no longer in the lead on development, I think it would be better for someone closer to the future of things to do the prioritizing of what, if anything, to transfer as an issue or keep as documentation.

Would you volunteer to move them? Alternatively, I could close them all
with an automatic message saying that they should re-report them if the
issue still exists.
