Part of the argument that Github/SFC made was inclusiveness, which is
readily debunked, and when the hypocrisy is pointed out, one gets
waved off as unserious. That's unserious in itself and shows quite a
double standard.


The serious suggestion is: try leaving it as is, save all parties the
retargeting mess, and concentrate on continued software development.

Not to mention that there isn't even a need to retarget, because you
can simply have two branches with the same commit state. Work off MRs
as time permits, and eventually all MRs to master are done, at which
point the ref can be removed.
