Alright.

Here is a draft announcement:

Dear pkg-go contributors,

I will be migrating all of pkg-go's Alioth repositories to
salsa.debian.org on January 29.

=== About the migration ===

- A mail will be sent to pkg-go-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org when
the migration starts and when it ends

- All repositories in git.debian.org:/git/pkg-go/packages will be
migrated to the pkg-go-team group on salsa.debian.org[1] You should join
the group if you are not already in it!

- Repositories will keep the same name, with ".git" removed.

- HTTP anonscm.debian.org links of migrated repositories will be
redirected to the new location.
 for example, you can test the following links:
  - https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-go/packages/syncthing
  - https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/syncthing.git

=== During the migration ===

- Your pushes could be denied because the repository no longer exists.
Don't panic! It was moved to Gitlab.

- You may start using salsa repositories immediately after they are created.

- If you push during the migration, take a moment to confirm that your
changes are available on salsa

=== After the migration ===

- On the next upload of your packages, please replace the VCS-*
anonscm.debian.org links with the proper salsa.debian.org links.

For example:
 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-go/packages/syncthing ->
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-go-team/syncthing
 https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/syncthing.git ->
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-go-team/syncthing.git

You might want to wait a couple of days after the migration before
spending time doing this because I might automate it for all repositories.

- A copy of the migrated repositories will remain available in
git.debian.org:/git/pkg-go/packages-migrated-to-salsa

- You will still be able to create repositories on Alioth, but there
will be no other bulk migration.

- If all went well, we might disable repository creation on Alioth a
couple of days after the migration.

- You may point your git working directories to the new remote address
with this oneliner:
 ``git remote set-url origin git at salsa.debian.org:pkg-go-team/$(git
config --get remote.origin.url | tr "/" "\n" | tail -n 1)``

1. https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-go-team

Cheers,
