I am not convinced that it was seriously considered to preserve CI on SVN
using the bridge, at least this is the first time I hear about this.
AFAIK, the transition plan is that bot owners have one year to switch from
polling from SVN to using Git.

When I looked at the bridge, it was only in the context of individual
developers who who try to work on a very small subset of the repo. To be
honest, I have a hard time imagining anyone really preferring this over git
though.

Note when I tried on the monorepo originally, it didn't work (always
timed-out) and I exchanged with GitHub support about it. They did something
on the repo I had push to my account and then it was working OK (I only did
very basic testing).
