For me, the Trac migration was Plan B, and I would like to spend the available time looking at migrating Trac Tickets to GitHub Issues
That would certainly get my vote.
I wish I had spare cycles, but I'm already in three levels deep yack shaving that had me hit this...
I am working on migrating Tahoe-LAFS Trac to GitLab. If Twisted wants to use GitLab instead, I'll probably eventually have a tool that makes this an easy transition. If not, I'll at least have a tool that loads everything from a trac project environment into an in-memory model where it's easier to transform into something else.

I saw this project which does Trac to GitLab migration: https://github.com/tracboat/tracboat
I didn't have time to check it out, but even when migrating to GitHub, I was thinking that some code can be reused from there. For example converting from TracWiki markup to Markdown.
Yes, that project exists. It's not a good fit for the Tahoe-LAFS migration. Maybe it will work for Twisted though. And as you point out, maybe it has components that are helpful even if the tool as a whole isn't.
Jean Paul, have you managed to do the migration from Trac to GitLab for the Tahoe tickets? Was it a smooth migration ? For my company we have migrated from Trac Tickets to GitHub (multi-repo). It was not a perfect migration ... but it was not that bad. With the bulk import API we managed to keep the creation date for each comment. The Trac tickets that had the same ID as GitHub PR were migrated last. In this way we preserve the ID of most of the tickets Also, we plan to keep the legacy Trac instance in read only mode for the near future. The trac ticket have a reference like trac#1234 in the comments and with GitHub autolinks we automatically get a link Btw. This is already enabled on twisted/twisted trac#123 → https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/123 We also moved the wiki to GitHub Wiki .. we lost some nice features from Trac Wiki macros ...but that was not a big deal. The code is here https://github.com/chevah/trac-to-github/pull/13 Regards -- Adi Roiban
