I can redirect all traffic to the new site. That's fine.

I think there are like 100 users total. I don't think "confusing users" 
is really a problem you're going to have once the search engines figure 
out that things have moved.

I don't think there's much useful acrhival data in the roundup tracker. 
I think it's best to look through it, move over whatever you think is 
useful, and otherwise ditch it. The useful commentary is in the git 
commit comments. The bug data is pretty meh.

I'm not sure how I feel about backing it up and making it available. 
It's non-trivial work to separate out the user data from the issue data 
and I don't think it's responsible to be providing the user data in a 
public form. So I think if you can get along without it, that's the best 
option. If you really can't, then I'll add "figure out how to back up 
the roundup tracker keeping peoples' privacy in mind" to my todo list.
