Gallopsled was a merger between the Pwnies.dk and European Nopsled Team for DEF CON 2014, but that died after a few years. @br0ns and @TethysSvensson agreed to move the project to another organization like https://github.com/pwntools. That would make it easier to find and remember. It would also represent the current state of the project being maintained by the community spanning many different CTF teams rather than one.

I haven't looked at the details on Github yet but I'd expect the old Gallopsled repositories to still work and forward to the new location. Does anyone know any problems that you'd have to watch out for?

I just want to confirm that yes, I am okay with moving pwntools to a different organization. I don't have any current associations with the project and I trust the current maintainers to do whatever is best for the project.

Gallopsled as a GitHub Organization does not have any active repos except for the ones related to pwntools. In fact the latest commit in a non-pwntools repo is almost 10 years old.

Gallopsled as a CTF team does not exist anymore. The team had a slow death so the exact date it died is hard to pin down, but I am guessing that is has been thoroughly dead for at least 5 years.

Yep! From https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/transferring-a-repository:

All links to the previous repository location are automatically redirected to the new location. When you use git clone, git fetch, or git push on a transferred repository, these commands will redirect to the new repository location or URL.
