Not by default, no. And given how the migration was planned, I don't
see how that would be even possible.

 * There was no automatic migration, so something that was
   previously in alioth might not even be in salsa yet (or ever).
 * When people migrated the repos, they might have used a different
   group name (say from collab-maint/ to debian/), or placed them
   in the personal space, or changed the repo names or used the same
   team but adapting it to the new team namespace policies.
 * git:// URLs would and do not redirect anyway.

But, if the maintainers have done the migration already, they can
always add the redirections manually via:
