I already did, see https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/feature-requests/23/

Searching by old tracker IDs still work and old tracker URLs are 
redirected to the new ones, which in general satisfy my concerns. So 
from my point of view we can make the switch.

Right now I finished the transfer of old trac wiki to the new mediawiki, 
so from now on the sdcc wiki URL is: http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/wiki
There are still problems with file uploads. I'll contact sf support, 
maybe they know the solution.
