How about linking to the project web page or the official blog where
the move was announced when available? I think that's how it's done on
the mercurial page. And it explains people why the switch was done
rather then linking to a source repository they might not care about
and the link to the project page might give a hint about the
importance of the given project for those that might not know it (such
as prototype, mootools or liftweb).

You have to work harder to do the real research to find such key
historical documents than just linking to the toplevel of the current
repository, but I think this is an excellent idea.  And most likely many
projects that have migrated from elsewhere (not the ones from scratch that
did not migrate from any existing codebase) could volunteer relevant links
if asked politely enough ;-)
