GitLab looks very tempting, congrats to their team.

Question: I would like to migrate from Github to Gitlab, but can not really move. Is there some bridge, which would mirror Github repos (with Issue tracker and pull requests) on Gitlab?

While you _can_ import data such as issues we do not have any automatic mirroring system for this in place. We do however have repository mirroring, but this _only_ mirrors the repository data.

We're discussing a full sync in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/904

You might be pleasantly surprised with the migration process of issues -- I had some inlined images and checklists in Github that got seamlessly migrated to Gitlab. I was pretty happy with how well it worked.

This is just in terms of ripping off the band-aid. I'm not sure of any mirroring, but I don't think that would be worth the hassle.
