The tags are in my local repo. Maybe they need to be pushed to github explicitly (I have not worked much with tags in git before)
Right, it seems so:
https://help.github.com/articles/pushing-to-a-remote#pushing-tags
note the github release functionality can also be used to tag and release at the same time however pushing tags is definitely appropriate for older releases.
Stewart Smith just pointed me to the scripts he used to convert Percona repos to git.
It would seem useful to check and try to do the same thing they did:

Hi, I just tried these scripts and it died 15 minutes in, so will need to dive in and see what broke.
Some stuff probably unrelated to why it failed but important to maria:
- there is a hack with sed in the middle that rewrites someones email address
- these is a text file with user to email mappings in the repository that also gets referenced
Both the above are certainly specific to Percona and need to be removed (or replaced) for Maria as needed
The script seems to make a second branch of maria bzr for some reason before performing a bzr fast-export and git fast-import that
I made some tweaks to the script tp be more generic and fixed and documented missing dependencies; am trying again. Will push changes to my github
Ok, dependencies sorted and running a test now, modified script at https://github.com/andymc73/bzr-to-git-conversion-scripts/tree/maria-10
Hi,
I am not sure what your eventual process will include, but I have successfully made my own local git repos from launchpad using the following method (Debian Wheezy with git 1.8 from wheezy-backports)
apt-get install git-bzr
git clone bzr::/filesystem/path/to/my-maria-tree-branch
The clone about three hours on my PC which is a quad-core phenom and produced a working copy where the .git directory was > 5 Gigabytes... but I could then visualise the history with gitg and see all the maria tags and all the merged past branches, so it did a good job of preserving history.
I could then merge the latest trunk in my bzr branch and then pull those changes into my git tree.
I could also push changes back to my local bzr, which can then be pushed back to launchpad, I haven't tested this recently but I have done it successfully in the past.
So I guess you could run both in parallel for a while, with some delay, and then one day just make github the official version and drop synchronisation from launchpad...
HTH
