FWIW - 

A little while ago I migrated issues from Trac to Github to keep a historical record; see:
  https://github.com/httpwg/httpbis-issues/

Naturally, all the issues are closed; to see them:
  https://github.com/httpwg/httpbis-issues/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed

The process wasn't *easy*, but not incredibly painful; probably took a half a day with some amount of manual cleanup after a few tries at running the scripts. This is what I used:
  https://github.com/mnot/migrate-trac-issues-to-github

Cheers,
