in fact we were *requested* to do so by DSA, so we SHOULD comply.

As far as I’m informed, due to the massively different structure
of GitLab, such a service cannot be provided with reasonable or
even somewhat unreasonable effort, and there *were* tons of URL
redirection layers already anyway, so they decided on a clean cut.
I’m afraid you will have to somehow change all these URLs in the
place where they’re written.
Disclaimer: I’m not happy with the entire move either (in fact,
I’ve moved my not otherwise maintained repos to another FusionForge
instance instead of to Salsa), just informing about what I seem to
recall we were told.
