Keeping the data would be a pain point… (By the way, I never suggested
moving away from trac in the first place :P.)

On GitLab.com, you can import "an exported GitLab project", or from
software forges like GitHub or Gitea. https://github.com/tracboat/tracboat
could be a solution to make that GitLab export in the first place. It looks
reasonably easy to use.
In this kind of workflow, I think it would be best to avoid Gitea, to avoid
losing even more data.

By the way, what about Jenkins/CI? GitLab proposes a free service for this,
but only 400 minutes per month (https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/). You can
have more by contacting them:
https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/.

Such a migration would require a lot of discussion, notably about the way
of collaborating to LyX: it would allow doing push requests instead of
sending patches to the mailing list, for instance. I think Guillaume is
already for this change (https://gitlab.com/gadmm).
