[Savannah-hackers] Moving GNATS development to the GNU site

[Milan Zamazal]

Dear overseers,

I'd like to move the GNATS development infrastructure, currently hosted
on sources.redhat.com, to the GNU development site (savannah.gnu.org).
There is nothing wrong with your excellent services (the recent CVS
problem was the only exception for the whole year I maintain GNATS),
this is just because GNU has built up its own centralized development
site now.  I'd like to thank you for your GNATS support on
sources.redhat.com.

To perform the transfer smoothly, I'd like to ask you for a special
assistance for the last time.  We need to move the CVS archive, bug
tracking database, mailing lists, FTP, and web pages.  What we need is:

- To stop at a given time the write access to GNATS CVS and BTS and to
  disable the mailing lists.  The CVSROOT and BTS database archives
  should remain accessible via rsync as they're now so that we can move
  them to the GNU site.  Is there some way to get easily the mailing
  lists archives as well?

- One special thing needed is to get the list of subscribers of the
  GNATS mailing lists so that we can subscribe them to the newly
  established mailing lists.

- It would be nice if the old mailing list addresses could be forwarded
  to the new lists and http://sources.redhat.com/gnats could be
  redirected to http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats for some time, if
  possible.

- Nothing needs to be done with FTP.

Could you please tell me if you can see any problem with this and when
this action could be done (please not immediately, I must announce the
date on GNATS mailing lists first)?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Milan Zamazal
