I'm really keen to see this come off as I think pretty much everyone is and look forward to the day when we all bid cvs goodbye. Would it not be saner to extend git through a plugin to provide fedora-specific stuff rather than use a new, separate command like fedpkg? Might help the migration if people understand that they are essentially using git with a few fedora options instead. Just a thought.
