THIS TOOL IS NOW DEPRECATED

Reasons for deprecation:

• The deprecation of AppEngine Custom VM
• GitHub releasing a similar built-in feature
• Now low(er) usage (Since Github launched their "move issues feature within the same organization)

If you are interrested in updating the tool, port it to a supported AppEngine VM and update the Dart code so that it compiles let the owner know.
