Pardon my ignorance, but I don't understand why a VCS move would entail
a move away from launchpad. In my mind the mailing list, the website,
the wiki etc. are completely different things.
The project wiki is already a separate entity on confluence to
everything else.
Also I would gently urge others not to FUD this issue, because moving
really wouldn't be that big a deal.

I think that's rather overblown. At sigrok.org, we have a VPM hosting
gitlite + cgit repo viewer
bugzilla
mediawiki
mailman
on Debian Stable
...nothing fancy, but it works and works well! and requires next to no
work to maintain. Certainly wouldn't take the average linux user more
than half a day to set all that up.
But like I say, I'm only talking about the VCS. And the reason I'm
talking about the VCS is that there's a mass exodus from this particular
one, which won't do the project any favours.
