Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
To transfer an open issue to another repository, you must have write permissions on the repository the issue is in and the repository you're transferring the issue to. For more information, see "Repository permission levels for an organization."
You can only transfer issues between repositories owned by the same user or organization account. You can't transfer an issue from a private repository to a public repository.
When you transfer an issue, comments and assignees are retained. The issue's labels and milestones are not retained. This issue will stay on any user-owned or organization-wide project boards and be removed from any repository project boards. For more information, see "About project boards."
People or teams who are mentioned in the issue will receive a notification letting them know that the issue has been transferred to a new repository. The original URL redirects to the new issue's URL. People who don't have read permissions in the new repository will see a banner letting them know that the issue has been transferred to a new repository that they can't access.
