That may improve things, depending on how exactly we lay out the migration process. At the same time, I feel like the complexity of the migration is getting out of hand; at this point I'd propose creating a brand-new repository instead (which apparently can be done at least semi-self-service via https://gitbox.apache.org/setup/newrepo.html). This can be a good opportunity to triage the open issues, close invalid ones, and migrate (copy, referencing the original) ones we want to keep.
Not to mention: while GH Pages takes care of generating HTML from the markdown in the repo, there's no ASF-standard automation for that. This needs to be created no matter what, so I'll get started on updating the existing Circle CI job to generate the site into a new `asf-site` branch (which seems to be the convention). In the meanwhile, I'm open to being convinced that dropping the current GH issues is a no-go, and we should invest in a more complex migration or accept some hours of down-time. (I've checked on the Jira ticket asking to move the other repos at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-16989, is still in “waiting for infra” status. Not planning any action on this.)
