One more thing: if you just wanted to move gspell from gitlab.gnome.org to 
github.com, of course that would be sad, but that seems reasonable because you 
developed gspell yourself and it doesn't have any other maintainers. We don't 
allow core elements (like gedit) to be hosted externally, but gspell is an SDK 
dep and those are allowed to use whatever hosting they please. The problem here 
is the additional element of sabotage: trying to actively prevent other 
contributors from working on gspell is too much. We just cannot have GNOME 
software depending on a repo that says "contributions are no longer accepted." 
And gspell is more ingrained than amtk and tepl were, so our dependencies on it 
cannot easily be reverted.

That said, I see [you changed your contribution policy 
here](https://github.com/gedit-org/gspell/commit/14c9363425f81dd2a894a5c757cba8f6a2debd60#diff-ea8677bf3f8815f111ec75a506f5af2faf35be890e1b1467bea73ed6fed6fd0e),
 so maybe allowing gspell to move would be OK after all. That said, it's 
_really_ confusing to have it hosted in the same GitHub organized that hosts 
non-renamed forks of gedit and gtksourceview. A compromise solution might look 
like:

 * Rename your gedit and gtksourceview forks
 * We archive gspell here and point it to your new repo
 * You agree not to close gspell to further contributions again (at least for 
the foreseeable future)
