Even,

If you see such puring as beneficial yourself, as the principal maintainer,
I see no reason to object.
If OP of a closed ticked does not come back, it could be interpreted as
either an issue is no longer an issue or OP is no longer interested in
solveing it.

Switching Trac to read-only, completely, would stop any activities
there (eg. commenting)
what I think would be good to kickstart actual switch to GitHub.
