alt Hacker News>Let us please consider the GitHub issues that remain open as metaphorically “copy-on-write”. Please leave all your existing GitHub issues and pull requests alone. No need to move your stuff over to Codeberg unless you need to make edits, additional comments, or rebase. We’re still going to look at the already open pull requests and issues; don’t worry.
No way for those to be moved too or not worth the effort? Unless misremembering, another project that moved forges (to GitLab?) had somehow done it.
GitHub's API has extremely aggressive rate limits which make migrating large numbers of existing issues and PRs off of the platform borderline impossible. AIUI, this is why Gitea's main repo is on GitHub: they couldn't figure out a way to cleanly migrate! The tinfoil hat in me absolutely sees this as an attempt at vendor lock-in on GitHub's end.
