Excellent!

I had a chat with Grant Slater yesterday.  My understanding is that 
while a physical move of change-sets from one user to another may be 
simple, it may cause some damage to to dependencies and may not be a 
good idea.  He suggested that marking the data clean might be better. Is 
this the most elegant solution?

Once we have had a chance to tell the Czech mailing list what we intend 
to do, I would like it to happen fairly quickly so that the Czech 
Republic contributors do not see a sea of red when the open OSMI License 
View.
