Also, Gitorious has announced that the site will be going "read-only" on
May 15: http://blog.gitorious.org/2015/04/15/gitorious-org-is-dead-long-
live-gitorious-org/

So we need to migrate everything away, and put up a message saying that
the gitorious repositories are defunct, by May 15. Rather than putting
up a link to the git.nzoss.org.nz domain name, I think the message
should probably just direct people back to mahara.org, where they can
click around to find out the latest official source code repository. So
that in case we need to move again in the future, we can.

Title:
  Migrate away from Gitorious before its May 2015 shutdown

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  GitLab has aquired Gitorious and will shut the site down at the end of
  May 2015: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-
  gitorious/

  "Starting today, Gitorious.org users can import their existing
  projects into GitLab.com by clicking the “Import projects from
  Gitorious.org” link when creating a new project. Gitorious.org will
  stay online until the end of May 2015 to give people time to migrate
  their repositories. Existing users of Gitorious on-premises can
  contact sales@xxxxxxxxxx for more information."

  Mahara's "official" main code repository is still on Gitorious, as are
  many of our utility repositories (the manual, deployment scripts,
  etc). We also have scripts that reference the gitorious address, and
  project listings that tell people to access our source code at
  gitorious. Apparently all of this will need to change before the end
  of May.
