There is a nice documentation for transitions [2]. For now, we have to make sure we have everything needed to perform the transition: we need to know what to do to make all reverse-dependencies build with the new libcifpp. Then we start the transition by asking a slot, and then we upload new libcifpp to unstable (it is in experimental now). Afterwards we have to perform all the adjustments to reverse-dependencies (here the red boxes will turn green, hopefully). Provided all red boxes turn green, the transition is complete.
