Description

Originally posted in https://github.com/astropy/astropy-project/issues/472#issuecomment-3612730086

Start and fund a campaign to back up issue and PR discussions outside of GitHub. This can be achieved using either REST API or GraphQL, though some investigation is needed to see if linked issues/PRs need special handling or not. It has to be done gradually to avoid rate limits. And once the current stuff is backed up, it has to keep running to keep up with new contents going forward.

Research direction

Start with the linked astropy-project issue discussion and investigate GitHub REST API versus GraphQL approaches, including whether linked issues and PRs need special handling. Define a gradual, rate-limit-safe process that backs up existing discussions and continues capturing new content.
