Migrating away from GitHub is easy? Hum, maybe. But it's a lot more work
than I expected. All those links and references ... Probably going to
break a few in the process. I've been using GitHub for almost 10 years
and it shows.

While doing the migration, I noticed that my README files were not that
great. The new READMEs will follow this pattern:

       _ __   __ _ _ __ ___   ___
      | '_ \ / _` | '_ ` _ \ / _ \
      | | | | (_| | | | | | |  __/
      |_| |_|\__,_|_| |_| |_|\___|
      https://uninformativ.de/git/name
      https://uninformativ.de/bugs.html

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    ${short description}

    Installation
    ------------

    ${what you have to do to get things running}

    Running
    -------

    ${basic examples of how you run it}

"name" will be replaced by the actual project name, of course.

I think this makes the repos more "self-contained". No need for a web
page anymore, which shows meta-information about that project. Just put
it in the README.

This means that the old "project pages" (the ones like
<https://uninformativ.de/projects/xiate/>) will be *removed*.
