My hope is that I can delete this in the future.

It's a scary place to be in when we're 1) dependent on a third party, 2) we have to follow GitHub and the API down the rabbit whole, and 3) we are just trying to enable our team to get going fast and hope in time GitHub can just give us all the right tools that check at least some boxes we need, i.e. very granular management to delegate decision making even more.

What's so scary about it?

Any data that is stored on GitHub (ex issues, PRs) can be pulled down via the REST API. So, it should be relatively easy to build a migration tool or alternate UI if necessary.
