I find it odd that gitea uses github.

  The project is quite large and cannot be easily migrated without loss of data, due to rate limits in Github's API's. The preparation has been long going, but they are nearing a point where they move the project to a gitea server. That's vendor lock-in, right there.

    The Gitea repo is actually not that big. The harder part is converting issue and pull request metadata from the GitHub archive which they reference here: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/18165 https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/18165 The migration bundles all of that up so I assume the holdup is writing something that can covert that archive to something Gitea understands or can use.

      Yes, I was referring to the entirety of the project, including all issue discussions and PR metadata.
