I agree that the repositories should be preserved. I don't see the 
benefit of moving the repositories to a different namespace though, it 
induce an additional maintenance burden and invalidates the Vcs-* 
fields. An alternative would be to flag the repositories with a Gitlab 
topic or archive them [1], ideally in an automatic manner.
