Yes, rules are helpful ;)
Nathanael's triage seems the best approach to me, because it is easier
to work on bugs when they are not mixed with unrelated stuff. But my
situation is pretty trivial because I am only interested in XKB stuff,
so the transition only meant to reassign all xlibs bugs to xkb-data,
this is of course different from the situation here.
Moreover old packages can be easily found in bug history, and maybe
usertags could provide a view of bugs as they appeared before they
were reassigned?
