please take your time to formulate concrete questions.

I would like to re-phrase this question to
"how come you are able to help", okay?

I have
- knowledge of Git beyond an average user of Git
- migrated Portage from Subversion to Git
    including explaining fake merges using commit-tree
    to the portage developers [1] and more general essentials
    before that [2]
- helped tommy of sunrise to get his earler multilib fork into
    the Portage repo
- worked with
  - Git hooks
  - Gitosis
  - Gitolite (including its setup)
- studied ciabot integration recently
- read most of gentoo-scm
- exchanged ideas with rbu and idl0r about it

If Robin and I reach a point of consensus on the migration's future I
could work the full rest of this week on the Git migration.
Not because we have elections right now but because I have a bit of
flexibility on the date of my next exam: pushing that a week further is
no problem at the moment.

Best,



Sebastian
