<br>
A week has passed and there hasn't been any strong preference voiced. We have<br>
checked Smooge's feedback and it looks like gitlab can do migration with<br>
redirect from the old location to the new one both at the http and the git level<br>
[1] so moving to the centos namespace as soon as it is available should be<br>
transparent.<br>
<br>
So I have asked for the project :<br>
<a href="https://gitlab.com/redhat/automotive/automotive-sig" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/redhat/automotive/automotive-sig</a> to be created and we will<br>
soon be able to push to it :)<br>
