Migrate gitea from/to other git providers with projects API support

[printfdebugging]

Feature Description

i created a private repository with a project, and that project organized all the issues quite nicely. let's say gitea.com announces end of life sometime in future, then i have to manually recreate the project(s) as the migration tool doesn't include the projects in the repository.

it would be really nice if we also migrate the projects.

Gitea has full featured API and I think it is the "receiver" side's task to read any data they are interested in.

let's say gitea.com announces end of life sometime in future, ...

IIRC the goal of "gitea.com" isn't to be a large & general purpose public git service, it is still recommended to use GitHub or a self-hosted Gitea instance.

thanks for the quick reply :)

@wxiaoguang i have gitea running locally as a service and when i migrated from gitea.com to the local gitea instance, still the project wasn't cloned. as you taked about the "receiver side", doesn't gitea copy the projects when on receiver side?

looking at the api, i don't see any projects flag, you said the api is fully featured, am i missing anything?

Hmm, just found that the "Projects API" is on the way ([FEATURE] API for projects #14299, feat: api endpoints for projects #28111 ), if there would be progresses, maybe we can have them in 1.25

So this feature request depends on the projects API
