Recently I had one of my packages removed from unstable. I would like to
know what is the team's practice of dealing with repositories of such
packages on salsa. I saw that some other teams have sub-namespaces like
/attic/ for packaging repositories of removed packages in order to
preserve them for future reference.
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.
