Yes, that seems like a good solution. :)

About your other suggestions, I agree with most of them and created an
issue with your points here:
https://github.com/nicoddemus/bitbucket_issue_migration/issues/2

There are only two which I don't think are worth the effort:

- Porting PRs seems to be tricky, since we would have to port the patches
as well;
- Update the changesets that appear in issues/comments: since those
changesets will be different when we convert from Mercurial to Git, there's
no easy way to map them;

If others have any more suggestions, feel free to comment here or at
https://github.com/nicoddemus/bitbucket_issue_migration/issues/2.

Cheers,
