Thank you Anthony for maintaining this project for so long and for
the initiative to keep the project alive. And thank you, Marcelo,
for taking over the maintenance.

I think we should make sure that users can now find the new project
page and the latest version of cx_Freeze. Here are some things that
should probably be updated to complete the transfer of maintenance:

- The files section of the SourceForge page
  (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cx-freeze/files/) still contains
  very old versions (4.X) that have over 200 downloads per week. I
  think it's best to remove all files from SourceForge so that users
  don't accidentally download outdated versions.

- The old project page on SF.net
  (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cx-freeze/) still links to
  https://anthony-tuininga.github.io/cx_Freeze/ which now returns a
  404. That link should be updated to
  https://github.com/marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze.

- Maybe https://anthony-tuininga.github.io/cx_Freeze/ should
  redirect to https://github.com/marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze

- http://cx-freeze.sf.net/ still redirects to
  https://anthony-tuininga.github.io/cx_Freeze/ and should be
  changed.

Sebastian
