Research direction
Start with the contributors path in repos.jl, then read get_pages in utils.jl and handle_error in error.jl using the reported ApproxFun.jl example. Reproduce the 404 for the moved repository and determine the expected redirect behavior; done means the contributors request handles that move successfully.
