-A lot of companies use a custom bug tracker that is built in-house.  Obviously there won't be a standard script that can be used to import that.  Hence, the way to approach this would be to export the data to a csv file then import it into Mantis.  Use this [[http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=4220|Mantis patch]] which adds support for importing CSV files into the Mantis database. +A lot of companies use a custom bug tracker that is built in-house.  Obviously there won't be a standard script that can be used to import that.  Hence, the way to approach this would be to export the data to a csv file then import it into MantisBT.  Use this [[http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=4220|MantisBT patch]] which adds support for importing CSV files into the MantisBT database.
