Isn't that achievable via the issue git repo? Not everyone using pagure will use fedmsg and datagrepper :s

I don't see project ID in the issue tickets. I thought fedmsg for a new project is always being sent so I thought this is not such a big deal.

fedmsg messages are sent, but this recipe won't work on pagure instances not using fedmsg :(

ah ok. Well not sure. how to get the project ID by another way.

you can use Pagure API for that : '''curl -L https://pagure.io/api/0/namespace/projectname | jq '.id''''

I know this is outdated/abandoned, but just as a general form thing, couldn't
we use $OLDREPO and $NEWREPO (respectively) for the names, just to
make it 1000% clear to users that they shouldn't literally type (or copy-paste)
things like move-repo and move-repo-new into their commands?

It seems way too easy to mistake a string like move-repo-new as a command
you're sending to Pagure, rather than a placeholder repo name.
