Can't it import issues 1:1 without changing the issue numbering? I was
expecting that based on `usePlaceholderIssuesForMissingIssues` as
described in the README. This would also allow issue references in the
git commit history to remain valid.

This can't work for PRs as GitHub uses a shared namespace for issue and
PR numbers while GitLab doesn't. However, I think issue references are
more important than PR references. And I'm hoping that the GitLab MRs
can stay up (as read-only archive).

Cheers,
Jürg
