There's also nothing wrong with keeping references to SVN.
(Purely personal opinion: either option is perfectly fine.)

I definitely vote to take Norbert's mirror as the base for future development.
He spent a significant effort to get the conversion done right.
If you see any errors / something missing, those things can be fixed.

I don't think it makes much sense to reinvent the wheel again.
(If you don't like GitHub, you can of course create a mirror on
GitLab, but there's no need to do a conversion from scratch.)
