I seem to remember that under the GDPR, vendors have to make data exportable. I wonder if people could use that for GitHub issues and the Wiki.

GitHub pages is super easy to move except for getting users to know the new domain.

The GDPR only applies to personal data, which won't be most of the content on GitHub.

Anyway, there are APIs which one can use to export issues.

Personal data is extremely broad and is any data that can be identified to an individual. If my photos are Facebook are personal data, then so is my code on GitHub (even if some people are professional photographers or programmers).
