From what I understood in fact FDO BugZilla will be taken offline in one or another way
What needs doing urgently is to prepare a static landing page that our bugs website can be redirected to, hosted ideally in our SilverStripe
This can be prepared without any further feedback from Tollef, it's completely independent from third parties

[h2] Bugzilla Migration Underway! [/h2]

[p]Hi![/p]

[p]The Document Foundation (TDF) and the LibreOffice project
    are currently migrating all of our bugs from Freedesktop.org
    to our own brand-new Bugzilla server. Because we have such a
    large set of bugs and attachments, we expect this process
    may take up to a few hours.[/p]

[p]If you're looking for something to do in the meantime
    [https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/manuals take a look at
    our latest manuals], get a bite to eat, or join us in the
    [https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/IRC #libreoffice-qa
    channel on Freenode] to say "hi" and encourage us along as we
    complete all of the steps of the migration.[/p]

[p]Thank you for your contributions to the LibreOffice
    project! We'll have the bugtracker back up as soon as possible
    so that you can report new bugs that you've found in
    LibreOffice, in our Android Impress Remote, or one of our
    other tools.[/p]

[p]Sincerely,[br]
    Robinson Tryon[br]
    QA Engineer - The Document Foundation[br]
    [/p]

• mention that during the migration, the bugtracker will be completely offline, for reading and for writing
• mention the new URL where it will be
• briefly explain why we want to migrate (more flexibility, configuration options, direct access etc.)
• mention a mailing list an an IRC channel where people will be around during the migration and after for questions (e.g. -qa, and the qa list)

Added all of those suggestions. Draft is up in Silverstripe (but not linked or in site menus):

Also added sign-ups for during migration and post-migration to encourage people to help provide support to anyone with questions about the migration or the new bug tracker:
