I have added the above to the projects list.

Concerning the Notes: No a migration job cannot be done with a single tape 
drive *if* the input is read from a tape drive.   Any consideration of this 
feature would require a separate Feature Request.  You can already do 
migration from a single drive by migrating it first to a disk then migrating 
from the disk to another tape -- maybe not very convenient, but it will work.
