Importing GitHub project using GitHub integration or token doesn't configure GitHub project integration

Summary

There are two primary methods for importing GitHub projects to GitLab.com:

  1. Using the GitHub integration, and
  2. Using a GitHub token

Documentation on GitHub project integration states

This project integration is separate from the instance wide GitHub integration and is automatically configured on GitHub import.

After importing a GitHub project (either through the UI or via API) to GitLab.com (12.1.0-pre 7d840e4bbeb), the project integration isn't configured, contrary to the documentation. I'm not sure whether this is broken functionality or if the documentation needs to be updated.

Curiously, a pull mirror is created but disabled, with an alert that reads Disabled mirrors can only be enabled by instance owners. It is recommended that you delete them..

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a repository on GitHub.com
  2. Import that project to GitLab using the Import project from GitHub option
