Sourceforge 2 Github (sf2gh)

Migrates sourceforge tickets (bugs, patches, feature requests, support requests) to Github issues using the Sourcforge API to fetch info and the Github API to create the issues and comments. Admin privs for the destination project are needed, but no special privileges are needed on the Sourceforge side (unlike other migration tools which require you to be an admin of the original Sourceforge project).

All tickets and comments are created under the Github user credentials supplied, and links back to the original Sourceforge tickets/comments/users/files are provided in each ticket and comment.

Progress is stored in a local database file, so the migration can be aborted and restarted, or even re-run periodically if needed to migrate any additional activity on the Sourceforge project over to the Github project, while avoiding the creation of duplicate issues or comments (if the proper progress datafile is supplied).
