One of the main reasons for all this is that running trac is
increasingly unsustainable; it has bus factor below 1/2 (sic!),
it is expensive, etc. Besides, given limited bandwidth of our release
manager, having to worry about 2 different streams of contributions is
too much.

Another reason for not doing that is that importing of tickets/issues
will get too complicated. With 1-time migration we can just ensure 1-1
correspndence between tickets and issues (note that PRs have the same
numbering on github as issues).
