Migration to organization

[Neustradamus]

Dear @Indexhibit team,

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)

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.
