Or, just replace the server with something that serves out the same
static page for any pgfoundry URL: "pgfoundry has been retired.  Please
see <list of useful resources> to search for the new location of the
project you are looking for."

The main point in my mind is that we'll never get rid of all the
references to pgfoundry.  Having those URLs go 404 will not look good
nor be helpful to visitors.
