I've hacked up the migration script to allow moving individual issues
by bug number instead of matching a whole product/component [1]. This
has already been useful to sort out some of the junkdrawer components
like App/Other. Running the script does require someone with supercow
powers on both sides, but I'm happy to do so as needed.

With that in mind, I think it may be time to enable issues and merge
requests for xserver, and disable the remaining (server) bz components
for new issues. Any objections?
