Ben,

Never tried it but gitlab has apparently an import module (rather expected given they 
directly compete):
https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/import/github.html

There are also ways to backup github tickets through their REST API with gitthub-backup 
(which I tried)
For example:
1) pip install github-backup
2) in github UI, create a personnal access token, so as to be able to use authenticated 
requests to github API, to bypass the rate limit of unauthenticated requests (you can use it 
even for repositories that you don't own)
3) github-backup -i -R python-github-backup josegonzalez --issues --issue-comments --issue-
events --pulls --pull-comments --pull-commits -t ${your_github_token}
