Migration to organization

[Neustradamus]

Dear @clawsoftware team, @hessandrew,

It is possible to migrate the personal account to organization?

Your project can not have a personal account but an organization and it is free.

You must to respect GitHub TOS:

• https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#3-account-requirements

You have two possibilities:

• Converting
• Rename / Create an organization / Transfer repositories (no lost, redirections are here)

Like you have already one good personal account, it is better to convert.

Important to know, there is no lost, and GitHub adds redirections after a transfer, for example:

• https://github.com/libreswan has been converted
• https://github.com/exiftool has been converted
• https://github.com/redorescue has been converted
• https://github.com/nerzhul/ocsms -> https://github.com/nextcloud/ocsms
• https://github.com/tigaseinc/tigase-server -> https://github.com/tigase/tigase-server
• https://github.com/boothj5/profanity -> https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity
• https://github.com/asciimoo/searx -> https://github.com/searx/searx

Thanks in advance.
