Speaking only for myself, I have periodically gone through first RT and 
then Trac looking for open tickets that I reported, or for which I think I 
have relevant expertise.  What I usually find is that the issues are still 
present, and there's still nothing further I can do about them.  (There 
are also many closed tickets, for which patches have been successfully 
applied, or for which other appropriate resolutions have been found.  
That's great, but since they are closed, they are not relevant to your 
question.)

Again, speaking only for myself, I can't imagine that yet another ticket 
migration would really make any significant difference.  It's the content 
of the tickets that matters most.  Still, it's a volunteer project, and if 
that's how someone wants to spend his or her time, I certainly don't 
object.
