We don't really have time, unless you don't mind having an
hiatus in the historical record of the LilyPond Tracker. I
do, which is why I've invested the time and energy into
getting an alternative off the ground.  Since Allura at SF
was released to the Bug Squad last Saturday 14 new issues
have been added, and countless updates made to the status
of other issues.  These changes are not available at GC,
nor anywhere else.

This is on the GC FAQ covering migration to GitHub:

We have over 4,000.  With image attachments.
