Automatic importer for GitHub projects

[jgart]

Hi Guixers,

I'm sharing a guix-forge project ticket that I think could help increase Guix 
and guix-forge adoption.

What is guix-forge you may ask? Here's a nice TLDR from the project page:

> guix-forge is a Guix service that lets you run a complete software forge in 
> the manner of GitHub, GitLab, etc.

And here's a TLDR of the ticket description: 

We want to implement an importer that migrates the user's GitHub account to 
guix-forge.

Ticket description:

> We want to implement an importer to automagically import projects from GitHub 
> (or from GitLab, SourceHut, etc.) into guix-forge. The user gives their 
> GitHub/GitLab/SourceHut account URL (API token if required) and the importer 
> will generate a guix-forge config with all of the user's repositories ready 
> to be consumed by cgit or klaus, issue tracker is migrated to 
> public-inbox/tissue, continuous integration is converted to something laminar 
> can run, etc.
