This is really fabulous; thanks for all the effort you've put in!

But... I am quite concerned that we're still linking to attachments in
the trac, e.g.:
  https://github.com/thouis/numpy-trac-migration/issues/6002#issuecomment-9492223

This means that we can't ever take down the trac without breaking all
our github issues; we're committing to keeping the trac running
indefinitely. Doesn't that kind of defeat a lot of the point...?
