Just checking you saw my reply to the same email from Paul?
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-May/005846.html
Sorry, yes I saw it, but then later mis-remembered it. :(

I might be missing some context, but I *think* my email could be
interpreted as an objection based on the reasons listed in it.
Also, the understanding I took away from the PTG session was that
there was consensus *not* to archive repos, but rather to ensure that
mirroring and redirects are set up properly. However I am of course
very willing to be persuaded otherwise.
Please could you take a look at that mail and let us know what you
think? Thanks!
So there's two things to do, in this order:
1) do a proper transfer of the Airship repos
2) Archive any other repos on github that are no longer in the openstack namespace.
Has the airship team been working with the infra team on getting
the transfer done? I would think that could be done quickly, and then
we can proceed with archiving the others.
