The migration has to be performed by GitHub staff (or at least it was
the case 1.5 years ago).
You'll want to get in touch with https://github.com/abbycabs who's
leading these sort tasks at GitHub.

So you'd need to write an exporter (that's the repo David links), and
debug it, before handing over to them, on a (trial) instance of GitHub
Enterprise server (you can install it for free and use for a month or
so - you'd need a Linux server to run it on).

HTH,
Dima
