That repo was migrated to git already, some months ago:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-flyers/debian-flyers.git/

but without commit hooks:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-flyers-devel/2017-April/000365.html

Andreas, if migrating from git-alioth to git-salsa (and setting up the hooks) is
an easy task for you, I would say "please go ahead". I'm CC'ing the
debian-flyers-devel list for the case somebody is already working on it or want
to discuss/detail something.

And BTW we may should think about what to do with the mailing list itself. I'm
not an "owner" of that so maybe this is under control already and it's just that
I don't know...

Cheers
