Re: [core-workflow] GitHub reviews comments on b.p.o

I'm leaning towards just adding an information who left the comment and a link to the PR. I agree with Senthil that gh comments, especially those coming from reviews have code context, which will get lost when copying over. Besides the amount does not matter in that case, whoever is interested in looking or answering into the patch will have to go to GitHub and see what exactly it's about. I'm aware there are cases you just want to read the comment and don't do anything yet, but these are rare cases we can initially ignore. Let's start simple and we can always get back to this topic.

There has been talk in the past of setting up a cronjob somewhere that backs up all data stored at GitHub in some way for contingency purposes. I think it's a totally reasonable thing to do, but I don't plan to hold up the migration for it.

The obvious alternative is to just post a link to the PR with some summary about what was posted (perhaps who and how many comments?). I don't have an opinion at this point which would be better, but the core of the proposed patch would be the same, just the output would be different.

This sounds better to me. If the person in the nosy list is interested, they can be added to the nosy list of PR, so that they can subsequent updates from there.

One case for copying comments is to create an archive for the case that Github goes bankrupt or turns evil. This seems very unlikely now, but Python should be planning for long-term contingencies. AFAIK there's no formal agreement between the PSF and Github that PR archives will remain accessible.
