I started a project yesterday on drupal.org called drush_migrate with the goal of allowing config changes through drush scripts. It was then pointed out to me that the name might get the module confused with migrate, which is a project for migrating content. The issue is #880846: Please change project name.

I am more than willing to have my project renamed to drush_drake (which is the way migration scripts get executed), however I know I can't rename it myself. Since the project is very very new I am also willing to just have the drush_migrate module completely deleted and start a new one called drush_drake.

Component: Drupal.org module » CVS

perhaps this would be better tagged as CVS.

Still subscribing. Don't give a fig what it's called, as long as does as advertised.

This is now a matter of changing the project's URI and renaming the Git repo.

The project is not longer very, very new I suppose, but anyway, the only way to rename a project short name/repo is to create a new project with the proper short name, recommit the work, re-create the releases, and mark the old one as Abandoned/Obsolete, making sure to re-name all the function prefixes, etc.

As a consequence, all the current users get the panic-inducing warning that the module is no longer supported because the association with the previously named project is broken. It's not something that should be undertaken lightly.
