Yes, I also find that end of September has become too close. We should 
first mail the IDWP maintainers with the transition details and give 
them some days for reactions, although I do not expect many. We can also 
ask here about the preferred way for the transition, but I would also 
not expect much feedback here. A mail to debian-devel about the problems 
that will show up during the transition is also desirable at the deadline.

Not if they are as much a couple of weeks more. Waiting longer and 
mainly leaving that to an undetermined date means more problems to have 
the staging area in sync with Debian repository, and the risk for the 
project to go much lower in the IDWP maintainers priorities and 
eventually get stalled and require an extra work to get everything updated.

Cheers,
