First, I've made a mistake. It's the auto-renewal that kicks in 2 months.
The certificate will not expire till Feb.

Anyway, if you want to tie this with the migration to jenkins.io, then my
question is the time frame. If this is the path we choose, naturally the
migration would have to be done before the certificate expires.

That said, I thought these services were using the same certificate as

That's a separate cert. To summarize, we have two multi-domain SSL certs,
and both will expire at about the same time:

Cert #1

   - issues.jenkins-ci.org
   - wiki.jenkins-ci.org

Cert #2

   - jenkins-ci.org
   - updates.jenkins-ci.org
   - ci.jenkins-ci.org
   - usage.jenkins-ci.org




Another option would be to start Lets Encrypt'ing jenkins-ci.org

I don't have a sense of how much work this would involve.

Based on this conversation, I think the best course of action is to spend
$300 and renew these two certs for one more year, so that you won't have to
spend time on a backward task and you won't have to take on the big
migration tasks in the busy year end. I think in this case the time is more
precious than money. I'll just let auto renewal kick in by the end of 2016.

And presumably the certs are still useful even after migration to redirect
old domain to the new one.
