There's very little coordination between forks and URLs point directly at repos, so I'm not sure how this would work.

- Vivtek 13y agoI'm suggesting that there should be more coordination between forks. I'm not sure what your URL point means - that the URL is a unique identifier for the project and that there's no way to forward people to the new "authoritative fork", I suppose, which is a good point. Perhaps an explicit forward on a moribund project or something.... Hm. You're right, though. The CPAN thing works because there's a centrally managed list of unique identifiers that point to the analogue of URLs (which are stored under user's names, just like Github). Good point.
