Bonjour,

Looking at the [Gitea hosted Gitea](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029) issue, it looks like there are no more blockers to the migration 🎉

> For the first big stage, we would like Gitea's development could be based on a G…itea hosted and github will only a mirror. This will maybe completed in v1.x. So that this issue will list all the features needed to be implemented before v1.x. And of course please discuss them and change my post.

We have tried serval times, and you can find a failed migration here [lunny/gitea: Git with a cup of tea, painless self-hosted git service - gitea - Gitea: Git with a cup of tea](https://gitea.com/lunny/gitea) , some comments of issues/pull requests are not migrated. We are finding the reason. Another problem is the migrations spend too lang because of github API’s rate limit, so I have sent a PR [Multiple tokens support for migrating from github by lunny · Pull Request #17134 · go-gitea/gitea · GitHub](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/17134) to make the migration faster. The issue hasn’t been updated for a long time. But the work is still continue.

@lunny I see [Multiple tokens support for migrating from github by lunny · Pull Request #17134 · go-gitea/gitea · GitHub](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/17134) was merged a few weeks ago (🎉). Was it all you hoped for? Or are there other roadblocks?

I have tried once successful migration [lunny/gitea: Git with a cup of tea, painless self-hosted git service - gitea - Gitea: Git with a cup of tea](https://gitea.com/lunny/gitea) but some comments are missed for those index \> 8700. Haven’t found where the problem is. And some releases are duplicated.

@lunny Did you figure out why those comments are missed? No pressure, just curiosity 🙂
