Problem Description
This has been discovered during the competition gaps review in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/manage/import/discussions/-/issues/42
Both GitHub and BitBucket visualize progress of running imports. This is likely not a quick win but something we may want to explore in the long run. In addition to the visual indicator, users are given additional information about each individual task being performed during the import.
Proposal
As a first step, we could start to look into the current limitations that prevent us from introducing progress indicators. While we may not know how long an import process needs to complete beforehand, we likely know the number of tasks that are performed (cloning the repo, etc.).
