I'm not convinced that we care in the least about commitfests that are
more than a fest or two back; especially since the mailing lists archive
all the interesting underlying data. However, if we did, the answer
doesn't seem that hard: keep the old database instance on-line for
serving up the old data, and put a new one beside it.
