I am more than happy to take that over for the project and migrate all of the redirects (and improve them even) once we get it over there to ensure we don't lose anything. Just let me know and I'll make this migration simple. I'm also a registrar so to Ean's point, I'm more than happy to take it on as the registrar and will guarantee that it will be migrated to the ASF whenever they are ready.
