Drupal 8 includes a "Migrate UI" module helps people upgrade from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8. I'd like to see something similar for Backdrop that will help people move from Drupal 7.
The Drupal 8 also provides data on available upgrade paths (similar to what we can provide with https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/backdrop_upgrade_status) as well as an interface for uploading both files and database from an existing Drupal 7 site, into the current Backdrop site.

I would like to start working on this as a contrib module, but am interested to see what other people think about having something like this in core.
