I had been using git-buildpackage tools to maintain debian, upstream, and pristine-tar branches. I was doing this all from my local couchdb repo. I don't know whether or not it makes sense to push all this to apache git or not, but I would love to collaborate this way. I find the gbp (git buildpackage) tools to be pretty helpful now that I'm used to it.
