bodhi, mirrormanager, packagedb, elections, fas, smolt -- everything that's
written in TG except fedoracommunity is TG1.

The amount of work I don't know precisely -- I want to port elections to TG2
since that's the simplest app that we run.  After that, mirrormanager is
also simple but it is using SQLObject and kid which we probably want to move
off of when we move to TG2 so the amount of porting work is a lot higher.
lmacken has ported bodhi to TG2 but he hasn't released the new version
(continuing to make releases off of the TG1 tree instead) so I don't know if
the porting is hard or something else is the holdup there.
