Is this about pull requests that h= ave been > closed? Is there any reason to migrate those? The idea is that after a while pull requests are too stale. Now that I think about it, maybe 18 months is far too long and I should say something smaller, or have some other criteria more directly related to it being actually stale. But there's no value to keeping pull requests open just in case. That degrades the value of having this as a service for simple, ready to go things. If it gets too old, it no longer fits that definition. Warner
