Hi, we used the "transfer repository" feature when we were transferring StreamPipes to the incubator, which worked smoothly. Infra performs the transfer upon request, the only requirement is that you are able to add someone from Infra as an owner to your existing repository, as only Infra can initiate the transfer due to access rights.

Just submit a ticket to Infra team once everything is ready.
