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.
