GitHub -> GitLab migration?

[JC]

@Olimex, can you consider migrating the repositories from GitHub to GitLab?  Despite the controversy of Microsoft acquiring GitHub, there are many benefits of migrating the codebase.  You are able to create groups and sub-groups to better organize your projects.  You can host your own GitLab instance and link to it directly.  Enterprise-grade features have also been released for free in GitLab.  Best of all, there's practically no effort involved to perform the actual migration; GitLab already has a tool to perform an exact project image of each corresponding GitHub project.

An example of project group/sub-group in GitLab would mean that the current GitHub repository structure:

if something work do not touch it
there are endless references to GitHub repositories from our web and blog, I do not see any real benefit to update them all until there is no any problems with GitHub repositories so far
