It might be reasonable to close old bugs as NEEDSINFO (if you're 
genuinely unsure if it's still present).  But this doesn't need to be 
done blind (it can be a group of informed people in some kind of 
coordinated session, spending a minute or so on each bug), and I'm not 
really convinced this needs to be coordinated with the migration.
