LInks to http://drupal.org/project/themes & http://drupal.org/project/modules are outdated

Problem/Motivation

Drupal 8 still has references to http://drupal.org/project/themes & http://drupal.org/project/modules

Those links work, but they aren't really all that useful. From a D8 install, why not direct them specifically to actively maintained Drupal 8 modules so that users have a good place to start?

Right now both redirect to https://drupal.org/project/project_module & https://drupal.org/project/project_theme

The prior taxonomies (to search & taxonomy) are now broken. Having a few hard coded short redirects would be good, but we should be providing people as useful a start as possible.

I think I would prefer an Apache alias on Drupal.org that simply points:

http://drupal.org/project/themes/D8 to https://drupal.org/project/project_theme?f[0]=im_vid_44%3A13028&f[1]=im_...

http://drupal.org/project/modules/D8 to https://drupal.org/project/project_module?f[0]=im_vid_44%3A13028&f[1]=im...

As the URLs from Solr are just too long and ugly.. But still it should be simple & give folks not all results, but the best results.

    The current usages are

    $ grep -r -e "drupal.org/project/modules"  -e drupal.org/project/themes . | grep -v vendor | grep -v node_module | awk -F: '{print $1}' | sort -u | nl
         1  ./core/modules/field/field.module
         2  ./core/modules/help/help.module
         3  ./core/modules/system/system.module
         4  ./core/modules/update/src/Form/UpdateManagerInstall.php

    There has been no further work here or support. Shall we close this?

    I am also removing the parent because the link are directed to a useful page.

    Two years ago I asked if this should be closed, since there is no interest in this change. Since, there has been no comment that this is still needed I am going to close this. Also, with project browser this is less important.
