Auto-migrating content is easy enough. The challenge is user accounts, because theres no mapping from launchpad to gitlab. If you just import issues using a generic account, then you loose the communication with the original bug report in a large portion of migrated bugs. This makes it more appealing to leave existing bugs in the LP tracker until they are resolved, auto-closed, or there is a compelling reason to move to gitlab.
