Description

I think it should be a part of GitHub migration to migrate all VSO issues; but I think the ones mentioned in TRANSITION comments should be prioritized, and corresponding comments should be updated.

If some issue should not be migrated, probably a short description in TRANSITION comment should be added.

An example I've encountered today:
https://github.com/microsoft/STL/blob/88332706f49d3297b200b5605ef174fc47d38d1a/stl/inc/xmemory#L68-L71

I think I want to understand what exactly TRANSITION means here.

Research direction

Start with the TRANSITION comment in stl/inc/xmemory at lines 68–71 and determine what it refers to. Review the repository for similar TRANSITION comments, then identify which VSO issues should become GitHub issues and which comments need updating or an explanation for omission. Done means the prioritized references and corresponding comments have been handled.
