We will not let them stay after moving. Process is like
https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/platform/eclipse.platform.team/+/185449 where
it's abandoned with instruction how to move it to PR. As the repo becomes
read only there is no difference whether it's open or abandoned, you can
recreate it as PR although if not ready it is better to have it in your own
fork.
For how long gerrits will stay it's a question for EF. If the repo is
archived - gerrits are gone. Webmaster team asks for when repo can be
archived in gerrit which we try to delay for Eclipse TLP repos (doing
better than Tycho migration!) but that's beyond us.

LSP4E seems to have missed the last step in the migration which should be
fixed and become read-only soon.
