Git has an cvs-server for such legacy purposes, so we can do a
smooth migration (eg. starting w/ migrating the whole repo - as it
is - into git and let the clients talk via cvs protocol to the
git repo, until they're ported to git directly).

I could host (and maintain) the git repos and automatically mirror
them to dozens of free repo services.

Perhaps you'd like to have a look at Briegel ;-P
https://sourceforge.net/p/briegel/home/
One important note: it builds everything through a sysroot'ed
(cross-)toolchain. Certain packages might need to be fixed for that,
but that's scope of the OSS-QM project:

I'd propose getting all packages we need built w/ Briegel. Once that's
done, you folks here probably have gained enough experience w/ it to
decide whether it can replace the current buildtool.
Going this road also give benefits to distros/downstreams, since it's
a generic infrastructure for both up- and downstreams: many parties
can push their branches into the OSS-QM repos in their own namespaces,
or they can easily implement its underlying model on there own repos
and let my robots fetch automatically. (BTW: i'm working quite closely
w/ certain upstreams to get a better integration).
