Thanks JB for driving this! The tool serves a very specific purpose and is not directly tied to any specific catalog. CI for it is different. It makes a lot of sense to have it in a separate GitHub repository - that also eases the migration to the ASF. If more functionality is added to the migrator tool, the code base would naturally grow. Having different release cycles is also a pro of different repos IMHO.
