Works for me.

No issues if you leave them as is.  I plan on migrating my little
projects completely over to gitlab, dropping trac and stuff.

How so? I thought it was pretty standard, except for maybe a few trac
hooks to make commits update the trac tickets.

Then how would I look at, say, some cmucl trac ticket?  I'd have to
memorize and use the full old path?  Or would this happen after
migrating all the tickets and wiki pages to gitlab?  (In which case,
the redirects make perfect sense.)

If you're going to migrate it (f2cl) eventually, I'll probably wait.
It's not like there's any active development there.
