Hello,

I really enjoy using this software! I’d like to suggest an enhancement.

Currently, gitea-mirror does not import topics and descriptions. Gitea’s native migration imports topics but does not include descriptions.

I would like to request that gitea-mirror support the import of both topics and descriptions to ensure repository metadata remains complete and organized.

Here's a comparison showing the current results from gitea-mirror and a native migration:

And the source data from GitHub for reference:

Having both fields synchronized would be a great improvement over the native functionality. Thank you for your hard work on this project!
