The name ‘anonscm.debian.org’ was explicitly det up so that it could
survive changes to a different host, by serving whatever is the current
VCS service at the same domain.
So, the statement “anonscm.debian.org is Alioth” is only incidentally
true today; that name should continue to serve repositories when they
move to Salsa, and whatever comes after Salsa.
Sadly, the decommission of Alioth has apparently not taken that change
into account. We are discussing it on the ‘debian-devel’ forum, but
without a solution so far.

Yes, that seems to be a good idea. The matter of what happens to
‘anonscm.debian.org’ is a separate one, and should not stop you from
migrating the VCS repository.
