Hi,

Thank you both for the input.

Good catch, I have not noticed the issue. I hope Gitlab has not flooded
you with notification mails, I am sorry if that happened.
I will escape the user names, I guess there is no advantage in replacing
the user names during the migration.

Agreed, scoped labels seems like a perfect match that I was not aware of.

I'd like to see Heat map to GitLab's weight.  You can't really

Given we are going to use scoped labels to indicate the priority, I do
not mind mapping heat to weight. I think a closer match is up- and
down-voting, but it is not something that I can modify with API, so
let's stick to the weight attribute.

Ian has also another idea, I will test both and pick one that looks
better (IMHO;).
