IHMO  the migration would not be so hard, but perhaps it would worth an hybrid
approach  where  both formats are allowed. That way when one works alone or in
a  centralized manner one bugs.yml file is enough, but when working a lot with
others  it's  preferable that they populate the bugs/ directory. This requires
a  command  to  convert  back  and forth issues from file to directory and one
option to add to select the format.
