Well, I hadn't forgotten. It's easy to upvote a proposal, not as easy
to put it in practice. It took that much time for me.

I did, but it looses references to actors doing the changes
unless they all already logged at least once in Gogs.

I suggest looking for a Trac plugin to make that possible to do
incrementally. Or you could contribute to the 
migration tool to also import wiki:

You can save a lot of time by not doing any migration
(as we're doing now). Let me know what makes you waste
time while working with Trac, so maybe we can improve that.
