Comment meta lost on WXR export/import
completed by: The Little Pirate
mentors: Jon
Recently a number of improvements to the export and import process using WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR) files were made. However, there are still a few things missed out in an export/import cycle.
This task is to implement the exporting of comment meta information associated with each comment and ensure that it is also imported correctly. The relevant trac ticket for this is http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12871. It will be necessary to write a core patch for the export part and a separate patch for the importer (http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress-importer/trunk/).
