I've downloaded data from github-issues repo using migration API. It's ~200MB tar.gz containing a set of json files with issues data, comments etc. Plus a directory with issues attachments. And a git repo itselt.
Looks like a good method for a backup. I consider publishing the archive, but need to make sure there is no private data inside first. For example threre is users.json

Creating the archive (on github side) took like 10min, for this single repo. Including all of them, will probably take much more time. But it shouldn't be a problem.
