Support the import issues bulk import API for migrating from gitlab

[mattip]

I wish to import a project from gitlab with over 3500 issues and many comments. When using the node-github-2-gitlab, I was stymied by two problems:

• Every @ reference in an issue or comment caused a notification to be sent to the user.
• The API is rate limited

When I asked on github support what they recommend, I was referred to this gist which describes a import api endpoint https://api.github.com/repos/${GITHUB_USERNAME}/${GITHUB_REPO}/import/issues but I do not see it used here. Is this endpoint usable from ghapi?

I'm not familiar with it, but is it one of these? https://ghapi.fast.ai/fullapi.html#migrations

No, I did not see the import/issues endpoint in the full api documentation. Did you close this as "done, the endpoint is now in use" or as "sorry, cannot use that"?
