Subject: Alioth is frozen

Dear users of alioth,

as announced and discussed [1] before, the Alioth host is getting close to the end of its life.

Most services are partially disabled from now on:
* all mailing lists reject incoming mails
* version control repositories are read-only
* user registration is disabled

You may want to take a look at the documentation regarding possible migrations of your projects somewhere else (specifically to the new development platform "Salsa" [2]):
 https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc#Hints_for_previous_users_of_Alioth

Now it is about time to retrieve all data that is relevant for you from Alioth before it is shut down.

# Timeline
 * ????: alioth is shut down

We hope you enjoy the new development platform:
 https://salsa.debian.org/

Cheers,
the people from Alioth Sprint 2017
