Of course. Currently I believe the repository we deploy is located at
https://cgit.kde.org/websites/jp-kde-org?

Has the history of this been recently synced to the above
websites/jp-kde-org repository?

We can arrange for that to be transferred easily enough yes.

As most of our existing systems expect repositories to still exist on
the legacy git.kde.org infrastructure, we keep the repositories
present there (just read only) and have Gitlab (invent.kde.org) mirror
any changes it receives up to git.kde.org.

It looks like jp.kde.org is currently using our normal systems and
servers for hosting websites?

All of our servers use Apache, so .htaccess should continue to
function for the forseeable future yes.
