It would be very nice if these hosting providers can agree to make project metainformations interchangeable in an open way.
it's not just about migrations, it's about a repository being self reliant in itself. think of some git hosting provider blocking my account because of some ai algorithm, think of some disaster striking some data center or some malware deleting all the data on the servers, all these are quite possible.
having git store that data means that you clone the whole thing and doesn't matter what happens to the hosting provider, if you have the repository, you have the whole thing.
