Comment (by hiro):

 The wiki of trac can be easily redirect without a gigantic redirect file
 because it can be set in the section and page directly.

 Tickets are a different story.

 Gitlab is also organized in projects and we have been using Trac with
 tags. We might not have a complete mapping between the two that doesn't
 overlap two projects and we might have to make some hard choices.

 Furthermore when we did the last survey about trac vs github a few years
 ago we talked that trac links had been used as references for papers so
 preserving those was a hard requirement.

 I am personally for making trac read only and above all not searchable.
 That way we save a lot of resources and we still preserve old tickets.

 Finally, I think we should start to migrate active tickets of certain
 projects only at this point, so that we don't go through a radical switch
 from one system to another, also while we just freeze old tickets.
