Description

Today GitHub shipped issue transfers as a public beta on GitHub.com https://blog.github.com/changelog/2018-10-30-issue-transfer/. This allows a repository administrator to transfer an issue to another repository where the user also has repository administration privileges. This particular project does a couple things that GitHub does not at this time such as moving labels and milestones.

Check out the Help Docs for more details: https://help.github.com/articles/transferring-an-issue-to-another-repository/.

When you transfer an issue, comments, assignees, and issue timeline events are retained. The issue's labels, projects, and milestones are not retained, although you can see past activity in the issue's timeline. People or teams who are mentioned in the issue will receive a notification letting them know that the issue has been transferred to a new repository. The original URL redirects to the new issue's URL. People who don't have read permissions in the new repository will see a banner letting them know that the issue has been transferred to a new repository that they can't access.
