Actually, that is the script I used when I tried the last time around
which did not work for me, I even send back a pull request for an
installation issue I encountered.
(https://github.com/houseabsolute/RTx-ToGitHub/pull/3)

This time I used dagoldens script:
https://github.com/dagolden/zzz-rt-to-github - it mostly worked but
there were some comments created by users who logged in on RT using
OpenID and where the user field started with 'http' and on which the
RT API seemed to choke. This was the dirty patch I used:

diff --git a/rt-to-github.pl b/rt-to-github.pl
index c6d20c8..06dca7e 100755
--- a/rt-to-github.pl
+++ b/rt-to-github.pl
@@ -63,6 +63,10 @@ sub _dist_name {

 sub _find_from {
 my ( $xact ) = @_;
+if ($xact->creator =~ /^http/) {
+# this is because the creator used OpenID
+return sprintf("From %s on %s", lc( $xact->creator), $xact->creat
ed);
+}

So as of today, *the* bug tracker for DBD::mysql is on Github at
https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql/issues and we no longer use RT!

I agree on getting of RT to Github. Basically, it's 2017 and github is 
good at what it does.

Yeah, I'm sure this is *easier*. But I really hate the RT cpan bug
tracker, so I'd prefer to look again at migrating from RT >> Github -
if that really would not work for some reason I'll consider migrating
the other way around.


I also prefer github but of course it's mainly up to what is easiest 
for the maintainers. Here is a script for migrating tickets if it's 
not what you already tried: https://metacpan.org/pod/RTx::ToGitHub
