i assumed that only small repositories that nobody except the author is using can be moved in such a small timespan of a few hours. Heavily used open source projects have issues indexed in Google with permalinks, their users probably hardcoding git urls, connections to package managers, heavily customized Travis CI integrations and the like.

Of those that switched, how many were backup mirrors vs actually switching to the Gitlab platform?

We can only guesstimate with the data we have.

Yeah. That has to go both ways too. If it’s only tiny repos moving over and not top repos.
