Best of all would be a pull request on 
https://gitlab.com/esr/gcc-conversion/tree/master to update bugdb.py 
directly.

Second best would be something like

whitelist:

"<svn-revnumber>", "<svn-revnumber>",

etc, where svn-revnumber is the revision number in svn as reported in 
the checkme above but without the leading 'r'

and

Change:

   "<svn-revnumber>": {"PR": "<correct-bugid>"},
   ....

where svn-revnumber is as before, and <correct-bugid> is the the PR 
number that should have been used.

The above can then be pasted quickly into the script to update it.

R.
