I can set up a git mirror on http://repo.or.cz/ and keep it updated from
the cron script.  I'm doing it for another project already.

The greatest thing about git (especially when used with StGIT frontend)
is that is allows working on several patches at once.

Complete switching to git would be great, but it would need getting rid
of changelogs and relying on the commit messages for the history.
That's something only the maintainers can decide.

But just having a git mirror would help those who cannot stand working
in CVS after trying git or another modern version control system.
