As an Eclipse MicroProfile commiter, I know there are 2 options to create a github repo at Eclipse

 - create a new empty repo based on Eclipse template (EPL license file, etc.)

As an example of the second option, have a look at https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-config - it was migrated under eclipse org this year, but there are still issues and commits dated to 2016 - everything was preserved from day 1.

So I wouldn't be afraid of losing history.

Yes. You might want to add the tag "initial-code-contribution" as tag.
I used "Initial Code Contribution - CQ 7916" at the first commit to
ensure proper referencing to IPZilla.

I also agree that an BugZilla issue is the best way to move forward.

Cheers,

Oliver
