I don’t disagree with the decision to not move to GitHub issues, however
if you wanted to you could do what Golang did to minimize the data loss.
They emailed prior participants to their bug tracker to ask them to grant
their migration app an OAuth grant to post messages in their name. Anyone
who did got the correct user account associated with their messages, and
anyone who didn’t got the catch all golang migration bot.
