Which version of it?  Molekel seems rather dead at this point; the
author moved it to github, but hasn't done any further development since
then in the last three years.

The 4.x version was kinda unique in its abilities, but isn't fully open
source IIRC.

The 5.x version is (I think) fully open source but was not on-par with
4.x in terms of features and stability last I looked.

And there hasn't been any major development in the last 10 years or so.

But that shouldn't stop you from converting it I guess.

OTOH, I haven't heard anything about going forward with gitlab for a
while, so not sure how urgent this is.
