Take a look at the Categories file and make shure the proper people are
listed.

[i've never used gnats 3.x, so this may only apply to 4.0]

afaik, gnats does not, per se, support import/export of PRs.  however,
since PRs are just text files, you could simply copy the file from a
directory in database A to a directory in database B.

in order to do this w/o utterly confusing the system, you could follow
this recipe:

*) add a new dummy PR to database B, in whatever category you want the
imported PR to be in.

*) copy the file from database A on top of the file for the dummy PR.

*) edit the file, changing the PR number, the category, and any other
field that needs to be changed to bring it in line with the new database.

*) re-index database B.

*) optionally, delete the PR from database A.

i've never actually done this (although i have done very similar
things), so i might be missing a step.  i would encourage you to try
this on a test system first...

Weekend again (tomorrow--Good Friday--is a public vacation here
in Germany), so I find the time to answer some GNATS questions :-)

From my dark memories to such an action when migrating from 3.10x
to 3.111 (I had split the old database), some remarks made it
into the FAQ.  Click "3. Configuration Issues", then have a look
at the answer to the question "How do I add a new database?" (at
the top of this section).

The FAQ is at
