Yep. So, there is no urgency, and we should start thinking about what a
migration plan might look like. How do we extract the open issues and
transfer them? What do we do with the CI system? Release packages? Open
pull requests?

If for example we want to transfer the open issues then we should start
collecting them now, because of rate limits (it could take weeks or months
to collect all the data which is not stored in the repo).

We also might think about the libraries which are not actively maintained
(if any?) we could reach out to authors and make sure everyone is aware and
involved in planning a migration.

If we prepare now, we can be ready ahead of time, instead of having the
issue forced on us when things become untenable at GitHub.

Thanks
