OK, I finally tracked down the disk where I kept this experiment.
And indeed, I see that the past looks always much better than it really
was: apparently, the Git repository is more like 100MB than 10MB and
that's only counting the non-archived issues, whereas when all the
issues were included the size was around 400MB.

This said, what's a factor 40x between friends, really?

So Tassilo's experiment with forge.el where he gets 200MB for 20K issues
in an sqlite database is actually in the same ballpark or even better.
Sorry 'bout the noise.
