As I understand it, games/knetwalk will become a redirect to unmaintained/knetwalk, so the old link will still work. This is handled by GitLab automatically. Even on gitlab.com, if you rename a repository on your personal account or transfer it to another group or user, the old name will forward to the new one. -- Nicolás
