How can I associate my old tickets with my new Trac account?

When you log into the new Trac site, references to your GitHub email addresses are converted to your new Trac account. Thus, your new account only inherits reporter/owner/Cc status for email addresses you've added to GitHub.

If you forgot about an address you used on the old Trac site, you can ​add it to GitHub at any time, log out of Trac, and log back in. The conversion is done by a periodic job, so it may not occur for a few minutes after login.
