One can add thumbs up and down to individual messages of an issue but they
are not shown in the search results or searchable as far as i can see

In fact the whole search capability in Forgejo is disappointing
even searching for open (not new) tickets doesnt work as documented
(one cannot disable "new" lables by alt + mouse click it works by
 alt + keyboard click)

Naively, i would have thought that issue migration would be done by a
Database -> Database thing

but there are many shades of this

one could leave issues in trac and instead extend Forgejos search so it
simply in addition to what it does also have it run a sql querry
in the trac db and simply return links to the trac tickets

this actually feels like quite doable for someone knowing Forgejo
and also the trac db layout. (that is not me)

thx

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
