We've already transitioned through various bug trackers in a compatible manner.  And who's to say that we might not decide to use bugs.python.org with something other than Roundup sometime in the future?  But, assuming the doomsday scenario should come to pass, we could choose to add a new namespace then, gitbugnnnn or whatever, if we then need to and then decide issuennnnn refers only to old bugs.  I don't see why we need to worry about this now when it may never be an issue, so to speak.  And bponnnn seems really clunky.
