Also isn’t this something we can just leave up to interested community members to work on? Nobody is complaining and it doesn’t seem useful to spend time and effort on something nobody is asking for.

“This” = host a simple Git mirror (+1 from me if he is, and our disenfranchised nation friends can access it)?
Or
“This” = full migration of GitHub issues to gitea (-1 from me unless we have a very clear understanding of what we will land up with at the end of the process and there is full community buy-in)?

I guess I probably am over-interpreting this paragraph from Sandro:

"Latest Gitea release (1.9.0) introduced support for also migrating
issues/pull-requests/labels/milestone/wiki/releases from a github
project. I'd be happy to try that out if anyone can give me
credentials to hit the API to do so (drop me a note).”

Sandro: sure we can set you up with credentials if you just want to test it out and show us what it looks like….


Regards

Tim
