can gitlab migrate issues? I know github allows you to export them via the API without too much difficulty, but there isn't too many tools that allow you to manage them once you've done that, from what I've found. there's some abandoned viewer projects, but that's not actually a replacement if you want to keep working on the project

Yes, GitLab's migration tool imports both issues and PRs.

  It loses a lot of metadata in the process.

    can you point a few examples? If there is data missing (that can be retrieved via their API) it's something we want to fix for sure.

      It doesn't matter if it can be retrieved by the API or not from a user's perspective. Merge requests and comments are no longer authored by the correct user, because there's no user mapping - everything ends up getting authored by the user who performed the import. Inline review comments on MRs appear to be lost or mangled. Review summary comments on MRs appear to be lost or mangled. Dates on MRs are lost. Dates on comments are lost.
