while I fully understand (and appreciate) the migration to something better, depending on the "soon", disabling not just projects but also user creation hurts collaborating on existing repositories with new users/contributors. today my co-worker wanted to start working on the openstack repositories, but can't, since he does not have an alioth account already. we got another two persons during the openstack BoF that expressed interested in contributing. I hope you reconsider disabling of user creation just yet, otherwise I fear you would unnecessary have the burden of making the migration hastily just to allow people to work on existing stuff.
