I have not used TuxFamily, but from looking at options I definitely
prefer what I saw of GitLab (which I have now tried out and like a lot
... it will be my own personal choice for my future projects).  A
little bit simpler but more polished for what it does provide.

Also, if you are busy I am willing to do the conversion to whatever
platform we decide on.  I have lots of time on my hands right now.

Have you looked at svn2git?  It is a lot more flexible and easy to use
than git-svn.  Note, the below is the original and high quality
project, there are MANY projects with the same name that do not work
very well.

https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/MoveToGit/UsingSvn2Git

I did a local conversion to git using this because I haven't used SVN
in a LONG time and wanted to easily browse the history of the project
code.  Very simple and easy.  Attached is a rules file I used which
converts all releases to tags, except one which has a single commit so
it is also a branch.  And mrxvt05utf8 is a branch.  mrxvt05b is the
main trunk.

I did not do anything about email addresses and did not consider
removing SVN links in the metadata.
