Hi Adam, On the technical side, it seems not too difficult to migrate the codebase including commits and branches. I think Ole Herman Schumacher Elgesem has already done that as a proof of concept. I also came across a few scripts that will replicated the issues across, using the APIs.
Regarding Github itself, I agree with you. Thinking pragmatically however, the reality is that Github is where the users and potential contributors are at the moment. Gitlab does have a feature to automatically keep a repository synced after importing, so maybe if we go to Github, we can set up the Gitlab repository as a plan B?
