I am importing all the issues from https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug .

$ ./git-bug bridge pull
[...]
imported 228 issues and 154 identities with default bridge

Then I execute the same command again (just this time with time). This takes much more time than it should:

$ time ./git-bug bridge pull
Building identity cache... Done.
Building bug cache... Done.
imported 0 issues and 0 identities with default bridge

real	5m52.578s
user	0m5.067s
sys	0m3.693s

git-bug actually queries all the issues from github eventhough it should not do that by using the since variable: https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/blob/fb6b2d873e1bbc653aa84ddce56c842202e00c33/bridge/github/import.go#L55 If I print the since variable in this situation I see the value 0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC.

On the other hand, using the --since command line argument does work and only issues starting from that date are queried from github (e.g., git-bug bridge pull --since "27 March 2021" does what one expects it to do).

That looks like an issue when write/reading the value in the git config. I'll have to dig further.

Alright so this was indeed multiple issues with the config read/write. https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/pull/608 should fix that.
