What do you think about creating a new openstack archive organization github.com/openstack-archive/ <http://github.com/openstack-archive/> (or thing like that) and tranfert them to this organization?
Github properly manage redirection and transfert, it could be a proper way to keep projects reachable for searching with the github search engine (for some reasons) and to allow us to clean things on github.com/openstack <http://github.com/openstack>.
The trick is that transfer is (if documentation is to be trusted) an async process involving the new owner clicking a link in an email to accept the transferred repository. Since this has to be done for 1,130 repositories (not even counting openstack-dev and openstack-attic), I don't think that would be practical...
This is true unless the user doing the transfer is an owner on both sides of the transfer. Then it should just be a matter of pushing the button/making the API request and there is no confirmation needed (I did this just the other day, transferring a repo from my personal account to an organization I'm an owner of). -Matt Treinish
