I do not know if we Europeans think different, but this sounds like
"shooting a bird with a canon" to me!

Honestly, if there are _less than 20_ tickets in APAC trac, I think they
should be merged into the India trac _manually_!
Why make it so complicated and make some program code to automatize
something what is used "one time only" when manual work takes less than
an hour? -> it's less than 20 tickets after all!!!

Why shouldn't you just:

-close APAC trac (so no new tickets are allowed)
-rename India to APAC
-make all necessary routings so new tickets goes into the same
"India" (=new APAC) trac
-manually insert old APAC tickets again into the "India" (=new APAC)
trac

Job done.


..sorry to interfere into this from other side of the world :-)
