Sounds like an interesting idea.
One of the things I'm concerned about is perhaps people having
bookmarks of old pages. Or perhaps have every one of the current
pages be a redirect to the corresponding page?
Something like this?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting to </title>
<meta http-equiv = "refresh" content = "3; url = https://https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Redirecting to sourceware.org</p>
</body>
</html>

Combined with the redirect, I think this would be great.

For the onlinedocs part, it's user "gdbadmin" who does those updates.
It does so nightly via crontab.
For the permissions to push to the new htdocs, I can ask the question
to the GDB Global Maintainers. Perhaps they'll agree that anyone allowed
to push to GDB can also push to GDB's htdocs, particularly if we set the
git-hooks up so as to have commit emails sent to gdb-cvs.

Sure.

Agreed.
