Even when I'm not a real developer, please let me add some points:
IMHO we could switch when
- ASF Infra can and will support it
- the CMS (it manages the webpages) is supporting Git
- the big majority of us is wanting Git
- it is known how and save that the SVN commit history can be migrated
to Git
PS:
As Apache project the code has to be at the ASF. I think it's not
possible to store it somewhere else like, e.g., GitHub.

Hi
Can we please switch to using Git instead of Subversion for AOO's source?
I don't know how much justification you want/need. Git is huge
nowdays, by
far the most popular VCS worldwide, the one most developers know and IDEs
support (https://rhodecode.com/insights/version-control-systems-2016). It
would help us with local branches for testing and experimenting offline,
git bisect for regression testing, it's efficient with large projects, it
would integrate with GitHub better, etc.
What do people think?

As much as I prefer GIT for Codemaintenance, I think the central REPO
should be maintained by Apache Infra.
If Infra can move to git, fine. If they do not support it, it is also
fine to me.
I am at -1 to have our official REPO on GITHUB or another service provider.
And I am not sure if we can not work around the problem to commit to SVN
from a GIT repo.
Have to check.
All the best
Peter
