I'm not clear on what are the next steps for the proposed migration of
the website source to Git.

I assume the intention is to switch over to
https://github.com/apache/attic at some point.

However that repo does not have the xdocs/cwiki_retired; it's not
clear if that is intentional or an omission (I don't think it is
actually required, depending on the migration plan).

Also, whilst there is a GHA to generate the site in the asf-site
branch, there does not seem to be an automated process to ensure the
cwiki_retired and flagged files are made available to the relevant
server to support adding the Attic banner.

There was a initial plan to continue to serve the website from SVN,
but there does not seem to be any code to do that. Note that the TLP
Attic banners depend on files in the generated website, so should not
be affected if the site is served from Git rather than SVN.

However the Wiki banners depend on fetching files from the SVN repo,
so that needs to be sorted before the Git repo can take over from SVN.

Personally, I think the easiest would be to change the Puppet code to
pick up the files from
https://github.com/apache/attic/tree/main/cwiki_retired
in which case they don't need to be added to xdocs (and the generated site)

Until this is all sorted, there is a danger that the SVN and Git
sources will start to diverge; this will create extra work to resync.
Luckily changes are not that frequent, (or urgent).

The SVN repo also needs to be made read-only at some point.
