Github has a policy and indeed, as you mentioned they require formal stuff (they responded to a support request). But Github has only old repo’s migrated to Gitlab, where the current code lives.

Gitlab has however not responded at all (they also do not have a policy for this). I’ll give them some more time, and then I'll try again.

Then I will make sure we hand over the repositories to the Lunar Modules organization. If you don’t also fine, I’ll contact them based on the conversation we’ve had so far (which is all publicly available in the archive anyway).
