Should be no harder than regular update. They even have a HOWTO
https://we.phorge.it/w/installation_and_setup/update_from_phabricator/

 From operational point of view it requires the least amount of effort,
comparing to full-scale migration to any other platform. The Phorge 
seems to be active,
so we can ask them to improve query functionality..(I am an optimist)

Overall short-term plan could look like this:

1. Upgrade to Phorge
2. Setup Maniphest for bugs and tasks
3. Migrate bugs into Maniphest
4. Enable Harbormaster (Build/CI) - this requires coordination with 
whoever is working on pre-commit CI.

This should improve things quite a bit already. Long term we can add 
Ponder and Phriction (Wiki and Q&A) and move
current wiki into it too.

Infra operations are hard, and I have experience with it. I'd be happy 
to help.
