I think we can proceed this way:

- Give me a list of projects to rename (old name -> new name). Check
  whether there're project mailing lists to rename and give me a list
  too.

- You warn the project members and I rename the projects meanwhile.

- I disable webpages on-commit replication for translation projects
  (to avoid recreating old webpages locations during the move)

- We then send Joshua 2 lists:

  - a list of old webpage locations to remove (the nongnu.org/wwwXX
    pages, in particular)

  - the list of translation projects to map to
    http://www.gnu.org/server/standards/translations/<foo>)

- Joshua will then be able to:

  - map the list of translation projects to the new locations

  - modify new-savannah-project/new.py to handle a new 'type'
    parameter value for when we create new translation projects in the
    future.

Does that sound good?
