Hi,
I have little now to carefully read/respond to all replies right now, but
just wanted to answer this.

> Will it be possible to preserve links from issues -> pull requests?

Yes it's a bit cumbersome (and it could be difficult to make sure that all
links to PRs are covered - it's not solid metadata, you need to parse
github bot's comments) but surely possible.
See https://github.com/mocobeta/sandbox-lucene-10557/issues/188.

As for notifications and attachment files, if there are ways to manage
these it'd be great.
