The plan is to migrate the issues, we just haven't gotten to it
      yet.
    
    On a similar vein...  Are the github
        issues being transferred over from https://github.com/javaeeto the https://github.com/eclipse-ee4jrepos?  Many of these projects have
        open and active github issues.
         I hope we don't have to recreate these...

      Mike,
      
      Thanks for the clarification.
      As long member of the Java EE EG (since at least
        EE6)
        I also know how big the codebase is. 
      Eclipse Science https://science.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-science-2017-simultaneous-release-hereprobably made a very good example about a TLP (like
        EE4J) doing its own
        Release Train outside the annual "IDE" centric one in June. In
        fact a timing like that in October or Fall could work very well
        if JavaOne
        stays there. And it also matches roughly when Java EE 8 went
        Final in 2017.

          Now I am confused even more. So what can commiters like me
          help with to
          make
          the history being migrated?

          None of that is true, and I have no idea what was said that
          drove you to
          that conclusion.
          
          Surely you can recognize that the initial code contribution
          for projects
          of
          this size and complexity are a bit of a special case.

          Nothing. Just accept that the history is staying where it is.
          
          I owe you an apology, as I read your initial email too quickly
          and
          misunderstood what you were saying. You were correct the first
          time:
          there is nothing that the committers can do to help move the
          history
          over. The initial code contribution for projects of this size
          and
          complexity are a special case.

          The Java

          indicate that

          products to our
          users, we
