I'm thinking about migrating a project from Sourceforge to Github. Besides the svn to git, what about migrating things like the issue tracker? Is there an easy way to do that?

SourceForge takes a centralized approach to provide developers more control over the software. GitHub is built on Git, which is a distributed version control system wherein the complete codebase is mirrored onto every contributor's local machine.
SourceForge.net provides the following features in its Git offering: All 1.6. x features of git are supported.
For SVN to GitHub part, this is now the easiest way: https://help.github.com/en/github/importing-your-projects-to-github/importing-a-repository-with-github-importer
But it doesn't import issues.

I've written a Python script to migrate issues. It's at https://github.com/ttencate/sf2github.
Beware: Sunday afternoon software. Use at your own risk, etc. etc. Pull requests welcome!

since I just have done this here is my approach
create a local git repository from the remote svn repository
git svn clone http://svn/repo/here/trunk
now push the repository to github
git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin [email protected]:myname/myproject.git
git push origin master
