However, teams can easily set up a mirror to any location they like on Github: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-April/005007.html

This means that the repository will be read-only, with a banner at the top saying it's archived. If a project owner wants to transfer the project to another Github organization, we can unarchive the project to do so, and they can maintain the mirroring via Zuul.
