i think its one of those things nobody wants take over them since - as
usually is - migration svn-to-git is usually pain or at least time
consuming.

i'm just finishing fairly large migration (3 separate svn-repos, ~300k
commits, first commit dates to 2004, not to mention all "svn cp" that
happened over time, kde's svn2git is used) and i could use this
experience (writing complex svn2git rules) and migrate nixos svn
repository to more github repos (i assume you want to split some things out)

i would suggest that if there is interest that "we" just do migration -
it might not even be that painful - then it would be easier to make
decision since keeping this up-to-date is a matter of few extra cpu
cycles per hour.

garbas on freenode, in case you would be interested in my help. what i
would need to get started is **idea what should go where** and somebody
giving me instructions.

see you on irc...
