We are moving from service accounts to GitHub apps and for the most part things are well supported. We are using an application for some automation tasks, especially items that most of our organization users may not have permission to do. An example of this is transferring dead repositories to a different organization.
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/repos?apiVersion=2022-11-28#transfer-a-repository only supports user access tokens and Fine-grained tokens.
For automation purposes, it would be very nice to be able to initiate the transfer with an app installation token. Admin approval would be fine if needed. Ideally, we could allow the transfer to just happen.
Being able to scope transfer separate from other administration:write scopes would be extra nice.
